Scapholunate ligament injury is a frequently occurring cause of wrist instability that often leads to post-traumatic osteoarthritis in the wrist. Though treatment is usually most effective during early stages of cartilage degeneration, these early stages are often asymptomatic and undetectable through normal radiographic means. The goal of this research is to use the magnetic resonance imaging measurement known as T2 relaxation time, which varies with cartilage matrix integrity, to assist in a non-invasive evaluation of articular cartilage health in the wrist following injury. After acquiring wrist image data for subjects suffering from unilateral scapholunate dissociation, a custom Matlab codes was used to calculate T2 values in specific regions of articulating cartilage. The first study found a statistically significant lengthening of T2 relaxation time in the injured wrists. The second study showed a further increase in T2 relaxation time of the now repaired wrists post-operatively. For the third study, preliminary findings between contact pressure and T2 mapping found no observable relationship. Though limited by a relatively small subject pool, these findings encourage further research toward fully defining this relationship, as well as give hope that this method may indeed be viable at detecting early stages of cartilage degeneration after wrist injury
