These findings indicate that carboxymethylcellulose and cyclosporine had adverse effects on intestinal anastomosis in rats.

PVNS is a disease with a high risk of recurrence. No individual or combined treatment method can offer a definitive solution. Open or arthroscopic radical synovectomy is still considered as the gold standard. If necessary, adjuvant intraarticular or extraarticular radiotherapy can be added to the treatment.

In this prospective study, the plain X-rays and MRI scans of 60 patients with intraarticular distal radius fractures were examined in random order. MRI evaluation revealed that 27 of the 60 patients (45%) had triangular fibrocartilage lesions. No correlation was found between triangular fibrocartilage injury and the Melone classification system, the presence of an ulnar styloid fracture, comminution of the articular surface of the distal radius, >20 degrees dorsal angulation of the distal radius or subluxation/dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint on the plain X-rays. When Frykman Type VI and VIII fractures were compared with all the other Frykman subtypes, a significant difference in the incidence of triangular fibrocartilage complex tears was observed. We conclude that triangular fibrocartilage injury should be considered with all distal radial fractures, especially the Frykman Types VI and VIII.
