  In this condition, there also is decreased carpal height as determined by the fixed ratio between the length of the third metacarpal and the length of a line drawn from the base of the third metacarpal to the distal pant of the radius on the posteroantenion [slideshare.net]

The two main reasons for this are that MCI is a mixed bag of conditions, and that their pathophysiology is not well understood. The management of MCI remains controversial. Table 42-1 provides a summary of MCI. [clinicalgate.com]
