Correlation analysis between TFCC injury and wrist fracture
Objective To explore the correlation between triangular fibrocartilage complex(TFCC)in-jury and wrist fractures.Methods A total of 168 patients who underwent wrist magnetic resonance imaging plain scan due to forearm trauma in the hospital from January 2010 to April 2023 were selected and divided in-to the TFCC injury group(118 cases)and the TFCC non injury group(50 cases)according to Palmer's classifi-cation criteria.At the same time,according to the distribution of blood vessels and clinical treatment strate-gies,the TFCC injury group was further divided into the TFCC single injury group(58 cases)and the TFCC multiple injury group(60 cases).The conditions of distal radius with ulnar styloid process fracture,distal radi-us fracture,and ulnar styloid process fracture were compared in each group,and the correlation between TFCC injury and wrist fracture was analyzed.Results The comparison of distal radius with ulnar styloid process fracture,distal radius fracture,and ulnar styloid process fracture between the TFCC injury group and the TF-CC non injury group showed statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Moreover,distal radius with ulnar styloid process fracture,distal radius fracture,and ulnar styloid process fracture were correlated with TFCC injury,respectively(Phi coefficient=0.204,0.164,0.462).The comparison of distal radius fracture with ulnar styloid process fracture and distal radius fracture between the TFCC single injury group and the TFCC multi-ple injury group was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the distal radius fracture with ulnar styloid process fracture and distal radius fracture were correlated with TFCC multiple injuries,respectively(Phi coef-ficient=0.254,0.222).C-type distal radius fracture was correlated with TFCC multiple injuries(Phi coeffi-cient=0.340).Distal radius fracture type C with ulnar styloid process type Ⅱ and distal radius fracture type A with ulnar styloid process type Ⅰ were correlated with multiple injuries in TFCC,respectively(Phi coeffi-cient=0.335,0.349).Conclusion There is a certain correlation between multiple injuries in TFCC and wrist fractures.
