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.Anahtar sözcükler: Artroskopi; el bileği eklemi; el bileği yaralanmaları; triangular fibrokartilaj kompleks.

“…In order to evaluate this it is important to establish the correct diagnosis in the acute stage. Noninvasive diagnostic methods would be preferable if they were sufficiently accurate, but unfortunately this is not the case and by far the most morphological abnormalities in post-traumatic and chronic cases are observed with arthroscopy (Adolfsson, 1992(Adolfsson, , 1994Blazar et al, 2001;Cooney, 1993;Johnstone et al, 1997;Kelly and Stanley, 1990;North and Meyer, 1990;Pederzini et al, 1992;Povlsen and Peckett, 2001;Schers and van Heusden, 1995). However the clinical relevance of some of the arthroscopically diagnosed abnormalities is not fully understood.…”

“…At this late stage secondary changes, including carpal malalignment, may preclude direct repair. Several studies suggest that wrist arthroscopy is the most accurate method for diagnosis of carpal ligament lesions (Adolfsson, 1992(Adolfsson, , 1994Cooney, 1993;Dautel et al, 1993;Pederzini et al, 1992;Richards et al, 1997;Sch. adel-H .…”

Arthroscopic Findings in Wrists with Severe Post-Traumatic Pain despite Normal Standard Radiographs

This study assessed the role of diagnostic arthroscopy following a wrist injury in patients with normal standard radiographs, an unclear clinical diagnosis and persistent severe pain at 4 to 12 weeks. Forty-three patients were included after conservative management had failed to improve their wrist pain so that a stability test could be performed satisfactorily and underwent arthroscopy within 12 weeks. Arthroscopy revealed recent pathology in 41 wrists, of which 17 had significant ligament lesions that might have benefited from acute repair. We conclude that patients with marked persistent post-traumatic symptoms despite conservative management are likely to have sustained ligament injuries despite normal radiographs. We therefore recommend that under these circumstances an arthroscopy is carried out within 4 weeks if the patient and surgeon wish to acutely repair significant ligament injuries.

“…Direct impaction of the ulnar styloid against the triquetrum is possible only when the TFCC is torn [5,8]. Therefore, for the early stages of the condition when the TFCC is intact, the term "ulnar styloid impingement syndrome" is appropriate [14]. However, the term "ulnar styloid impaction syndrome" can be reserved for the late stages of the condition when wear and tear of the TFCC has occurred and the direct contact between the two bones is possible [14,15].…”

The tip of an excessively long ulnar styloid can impinge upon the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) against the triquetrum. The subtleties in biomechanics of the wrist joint and their role in the production of the symptoms are presented as five cases from a retrospective study. The relationship of the symptoms to the patients' job activities is also discussed. The embryological and anatomical studies show that the tip of the ulnar styloid is covered by the TFCC. Therefore, the term "ulnar styloid impingement syndrome" is adopted for the entity in cases in which the TFCC has remained intact.
