MRI Findings in Patients Undergoing Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Repairs Versus Patients Without Ulnar-Sided Wrist Pain.

ABSTRACT: Background: The clinical picture of ulnar-sided wrist pain is oftentimes confusing because various pathologies may be coexistent. In this study, we aimed: (1) to compare the prevalence of potential causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients who underwent triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair and control subjects: and (2) to evaluate whether inferior clinical results were associated with specific patient characteristics or other potential causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Methods: We included 67 patients who underwent a TFCC repair and 67 control subjects. The MRI scans were examined for sources of ulnar-sided wrist pain. After TFCC repair, 42 patients (63%) completed surveys, including Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and
