The common etiologies of ulnar-sided wrist pain include fracture, triangular fibrocartilage complex injury, ulnocarpal impaction, extensor carpi ulnaris tenosynovitis, and distal radioulnar joint instability. Early and precise diagnosis is the cornerstone for management and early recovery from the disease. A dual-modality approach with X-ray and ultrasound wrist can be used as an efficient and cost-effective screening procedure for ulnar-sided wrist pain in a busy tertiary care setting or where magnetic resonance imaging is not available. We report a case of a 36-year-old male with chronic ulnar-sided wrist pain.
