Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effect of reconstructing distal radioulnar ligament with al-lograft tendon under wrist arthroscopy in the treatment of chronic PalmerⅠD type triangular fibrocarti-lage complex injury complicated with distal radioulnar joint instability.Methods Clinical data of 15 pa-tients with chronic PalmerⅠD type triangular fibrocartilage complex injury and admitted to our hospital between January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.All of them were treated with wrist arthroscopic allograft tendon reconstruction of distal radioulnar ligament.During the postoperative follow-up,the wrist range of motion and grip strength were evaluated,while the wrist pain and wrist function were assessed using the visual analogue scale(VAS)and modified Mayo score.Results All pa-tients were followed up twelve to twenty-four months,with an average of(18.15±2.20)months.The postoperative VAS score was(2.56±0.69),significantly better than the preoperative one(6.78±1.24)(P<0.05).Moreover,the postoperative ratio of grip strength between the affected and the healthy hand was(76.18±9.72)%,significantly better than that of(50.18±6.79)%(P<0.05),with increased grip strength.Meanwhile,the postoperative rotational motion of wrist joint[(151.09±12.38)°]improved significantly compared with that before operation[(142.87±10.19)°](P<0.05).According to the modi-fied Mayo score,8 cases were excellent,6 cases were good,and 1 case was fair,reaching an excel-lent and good rate of 93.33%.Conclusion Wrist arthroscopic reconstruction of distal radioulnar liga-ment with allograft tendon is effective in the treatment of chronic PalmerⅠD type triangular fibrocarti-lage complex injury with lower radioulnar joint instability,relieving pain and promoting grip strength and rotational motion.
