Abstract

Aim: Injury to the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is one the major causes of ulnar sided wrist pain and distal radioulnar joint instability. In this study, the results of arthroscopic repair of peripheral (Palmer Type 1) TFCC tears were retrospectively analyzed. Material and Methods: The results of eleven patients (6 males, 5 females, mean age: 27.6 years (range:19-42 yrs)) who presented with peripheral (Palmer type 1B) TFCC tears and underwent arthroscopic repair between 2008-2011 using a separate portal opened 1 cm below the 6R portal and outsidein suture technique were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had wrist pain and limited range of motion that did not respond to conservative treatment. MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) revealed peripheral TFCC tear in all patients. Mean interval between onset of symptoms and surgery was 16.2 months, and mean follow up after surgery was 11.6 months (range:6-21 months). Functional assessment was made with "Quick DASH in Turkish" and VAS (Visual Analog Scale). Preoperative and follow up data were statistically compared. Results: Mean Quick DASH symptom scores decreased from 20.45 (range: 9.09-38.63) before surgery to 4.33 (range: 2.279.09) after surgery. Mean VAS decreased from 6.53 (4.5-8.2) before surgery decreased to 1.48 (range:0.3-3.1) after surgery. The difference between the results were statistically highly significant.Conclusion: Arthroscopy enables repair of the TFCC with minimal injury, allows better visualization and evaluation of all joint structures. The outside- in suture technique applied from a portal opened 1 cm below the 6R portal is a minimally traumatic method where injury to the superficial branch of the ulnar nerve is not a possibility. Using this technique, significant reduction in DRUJ instability and preoperative pain can be achieved.

Özet

Amaç: Triangular fibrokartilaj kompleks (TFKK) hasarlanması el bileğinin ulnar taraf ağrıları ve distal radioulnar eklem instabilitesinin başlıca nedenidir. Bu çalışmada, artroskopik olarak onarılan TFKK periferik (Palmer tip 1B) yırtıklarının tedavi sonuçları retrospektif değerlendirildi.Gereç ve Yöntem: TFKK periferik (palmer tip 1B) yırtığı nedeniyle 2007-2011 seneleri arasında başvuran ve 6 R portal 1 cm altından açılan ayrı bir portalden dışarıdan içeriye teknik ile artroskopik tamir uygulanan 11 hasta (6 erkek, 5 kadın, ortalama yaş: 27,6 değerlendirildi. Tüm hastalarda konservatif tedavi ile sonuç alınamayan el bileği ağrısı ve hareket kısıtlılığı mevcuttu. MRG (magnetik rezonans görüntüleme) incelemesinde hastaların tümünde periferik TFKK yırtığı saptandı. Yakınmaya başlama zamanları ile operasyon arasında geçen süre ortalama 16.2 ay, ameliyat sonrası ortalama takip süresi ise 11.6 aydı. Fonksiyonel değerlendirmede "Türkçe Quick DASH" ölçeği ve VAS (Görsel analog skala) kullanıldı. Ameliyat öncesi ve takip dönemine ait veriler istatistiksel olarak kıyaslandı.Bulgular: Ameliyat öncesi ortalama 20.45 (Dağılım: 9,0938,63) olan Quick-DASH semptom skorlarının ameliyat sonrasında ortalama 4.33'e gerilediği (Dağılım: 2,27-9,09) saptandı. Ameliyat öncesi VAS değerleri ortalaması 6.53 (Dağılım: 4,5-8,2) olup, ameliyat sonrası bu değer 1.48 (Dağılım: 0,33,1) olarak bulundu. Sonuçlar arasında istatistiksel açıdan ileri derecede anlamlı fark mevcuttu.Sonuç: Artroskopik teknikle minimal hasarlanma ile TFKK tamiri yapılabilmekte; eklemin tüm yapılarının daha iyi görüntülenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi sağlanabilmektedir. 6 R portalin 1 cm altında açılan portalden uygulanan dışarıdan içeriye dikiş tekniği ulnar sinir yüzeyel dalının etkilenme olasılığının olmadığı minimal travmatik yöntemdir. Bu yöntem ile DRUE instabilitesi ve ameliyat öncesi ağrı yakınmalarının anlamlı olarak giderilmesi olasıdır.
