ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To analyze postoperative outcomes after arthroscopic transosseous triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) foveal repair and identify factors affecting the clinical outcomes.METHODS:
This study retrospectively enrolled patients who were treated for TFCC foveal tears by arthroscopic transosseous TFCC foveal repair. The diagnosis of TFCC foveal tear was made based on medical history, physical examination, and magnetic resonance imaging, with confirmation via arthroscopic examination. Outcome evaluation was completed at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively, and patients were classified into 2 groups according to the minimal clinically important difference of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation. Various factors including age, sex, trauma history, body mass index, symptom duration, hand dominance, ulnar variance, subluxation of the distal radioulnar joint, preoperative pain score, and functional status, as well as the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle, were retrospectively analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.RESULTS:
During the study period, 42 patients were treated for TFCC foveal tears. The functional status significantly improved after surgery. Overall, 27 and 15 patients showed good and poor functional outcomes, respectively, which were assessed according to the minimal clinically important difference of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation. On univariate analysis, clinical outcomes were better in male patients (P = .035), younger patients (P = .022), and those with higher CSAs of the PQ muscles (P < .001). However, on multivariable logistic regression analysis, only a higher CSA of the PQ muscle was identified as an independent prognostic factor affecting clinical outcome after TFCC foveal repair (P = .004).CONCLUSION:
Arthroscopic transosseous TFCC complex foveal repair led to satisfactory results. However, lower PQ muscle CSA on magnetic resonance imaging was the most independent prognostic factor negatively affecting clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.
