The ulnar fovea sign is used clinically to determine the cause of pain on the ulnar side of the wrist. A positive test is usually considered specific for foveal disruption of the distal radioulnar ligaments and ulnotriquetral ligament injuries. [2]

For the ulnar fovea sign test, the examiner palpates the soft spot between the ulnar styloid, the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon, the volar surface of the ulnar head and the pisiform (Fig. 2). Reproducible pain at this spot, as compared with the contralateral side, resembles a ‘‘positive’’ ulnar fovea sign

2023年12月18日 · Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Injuries, a common cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain, may result from trauma or due to degenerative changes. Diagnosis is made clinically with ulnar sided wrist pain that is worse with ulnar deviation and a positive "fovea" sign.

The ulnar fovea sign is a clinical test that specifies the cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. A positive ulnar fovea sign test indicates foveal disruption of the distal radioulnar ligaments and ulnotriquetral ligament injuries.

The hypothesis stating that the ulnar fovea sign is a useful clinical maneuver to detect foveal disruptions and UT ligament tears is supported. The conditions represent 2 common sources of ulnar-sided wrist pain.

2007年4月1日 · The ulnar fovea sign is a provocative maneuver aimed at eliciting abnormal tenderness in the fovea region of the wrist, which is bounded by the ulnar styloid process, the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon, the distal volar surface of the ulnar, and the pisiform bone.

a hypothesis was developed stating that ulnar fovea tenderness (positive “ulnar fovea sign”) is sensitive and specific in detecting two ulnar-sided wrist conditions: foveal disruption of the distal radioulnar ligaments and ulnotriquetral (UT) ligament injuries.

2023年8月3日 · The ulnar fovea sign is a clinical test used to assess the cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. It assists in the detection of ulnotriquetral ligament injuries and foveal disruption of the distal radioulnar ligaments.

2018年9月18日 · TFCC tears are often diagnosed using the fovea test, also called the ulnar fovea sign. To do this, your doctor will apply pressure to the outside of your wrist and ask if you feel any pain or...

Significant tenderness that reproduces the patient’s complaint in terms of character and location is considered a positive finding of the ulnar fovea sign. This sign is a sensitive test for foveal disruptions and ulnotriquetral ligament injuries [ 54 ].
