Abstract

BACKGROUND: Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury is the major cause of wrist pain on the ulnar side. In this study, treatment out-comes of arthroscopically repaired peripheral TFCC tears (Palmer type 1B) were evaluated retrospectively.METHODS: Thirty-eight patients (30 males, 8 females; mean age 27.6; range 19 to 42 years) with TFCC tears (Palmer type 1B) who were treated arthroscopically between February 2007-July 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. The data were collected by Mayo wrist evaluation form and by preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS).RESULTS: The results of the data collected by the Mayo wrist evaluation forms were perfect in 30 patients and good in 8 patients. Preoperative VAS was 6.53 (range: 4.5-8.2) and postoperative VAS was 1.48 (range: 0.3-3.1).DISCUSSION: With the arthroscopic technique, TFCC tears can be repaired with minimal harm and better visualization, and evaluation of all the structures of the wrist can be done. Outside-to-inside suturing technique, which is performed through the portal opened 1 cm inferior to the 6R portal, is the least traumatic technique and does not carry the risk of injury to the superficial branch of the ulnar nerve. With this technique, the complaints of preoperative pain can be eliminated significantly.

Özet

AMAÇ: Triangular fibrokartilaj kompleks (TFKK) hasarlanması el bileğinin ulnar taraf ağrılarının başlıca nedenidir. Bu çalışmada, artroskopik olarak onarılan TFKK periferik (Palmer tip 1B) yırtıklarının tedavi sonuçları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: TFKK periferik (Palmer tip 1B) yırtığı nedeniyle Şubat 2007-Temmuz 2012 arasında artroskopik tamir uygulanan 38 hasta değerlendirildi. Değerlendirme Mayo el bileği değerlendirme formu ve ameliyat öncesi, ameliyat sonrası VAS (Görsel analog skala) ile yapıldı.BULGULAR: Hastaların Mayo el bileği değerlendirme formu ile yapılan değerlendirme sonuçlarına göre 30 hasta mükemmel, sekiz hasta iyi olarak değerlendirildi. Ameliyat öncesi VAS 6.53 (dağılım: 4.5-8.2) ameliyat sonrası VAS 1.48 (dağılım: 0.3-3.1) olarak saptandı.SONUÇ:Artroskopik teknikle minimal hasarlanma ile TFKK tamiri yapılabilmekte, eklemin tüm yapılarının daha iyi görüntülenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi sağlanabilmektedir. 6R portalin 1 cm altından açılan portalden uygulanan dışarıdan içeriye dikiş tekniği ulnar sinir yüzeyel dalının etkilenme olasılığının olmadığı minimal travmatik yöntemdir. Bu yöntem ile ameliyat öncesi ağrı şikayetlerinin anlamlı olarak giderilmesi mümkündür
