Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of wrist arthroscopy-assisted repair of stable or slightly unstable type Ⅰ B triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury of distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ).Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 42 patients with type Ⅰ B TFCC injuries admitted from May 2015 to August 2017,including 17 males and 25 females,aged 18-64 years,with an average of 38 years.Among the patients,20 were injured on the left side,and 22 on the right side.During the operation,if the injury was diagnosed as type Ⅰ B injury under wrist arthroscopy,outside in method with 3-0 purdis stitch was adopted to repair TFCC after joint cleaning.After the operation,the wrist joint was fixed in a neutral rotation position for 3 weeks with a long arm plaster over the elbow and then replaced with a short arm plaster for 2-3 weeks.Visual analogue scale (VAS),grip strength,joint mobility,modified Mayo wrist function score,and disabilities of arm,shoulder and hand score (DASH) before operation and at the last follow-up were compared.Results All patients were followed up for 6-24 months,with an average of 11 months.No infection or nerve injury occurred after operation.At the last follow up,wrist pain disappeared in 13 cases completely,while 29 cases still had pain during moderate activities.VAS was decreased from preoperative (2.7 ± 0.9) points to (1.2 ± 1.0) points (P ＜ 0.05).The grip strength was increased from preoperative (20.6 ± 8.3) kg to postoperative (22.5 ± 8.5) kg (P ＜ 0.05).The wrist flexion and extension,radial ulnar deviation,and forearm rotation were increased from preoperative (116.4 ± 26.0) °,(36.7 ± 10.7) °,and (137.9 ±29.1) ° to postoperative (119.4 ± 22.8) ° (P ＞ 0.05),(40.0 ± 10.6) ° (P ＜ 0.05),and (148.9 ±21.4) ° (P ＜ 0.05).The modified Mayo wrist function score increased from preoperative (67.3 ±9.6) points to postoperative (84.4 ± 6.7) points.The results were excellent in 13 cases,good in 24,and fair in five,with an excellent and good rate of 88％.The DASH score decreased from (34.6 ± 10.2)points to (10.4 ± 6.5) points after operation (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For patients with stable or slightly unstable type ⅠB TFCC injury of DRUJ,synovial membrane cleaning under wrist arthroscopy plus capsule repair combined with active rehabilitation training can effectively reduce wrist pain,and improve wrist radial ulnar deviation,forearm rotation and grip strength as well as improve wrist joint function.
