ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on describing the structure of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) in 7 cadavers with autopsy being the golden standard.Methods:
In total, 7 healthy cadavers were included (4 males, 3 females, the average age was 51 years). All cadavers were preserved under -30 â condition and thawed out before the experiment. The autopsy was performed by the same group of hand surgeons immediately after the MRI examination (3.0 tesla, wrist coil,"superman"position). The integrity of triangular fibrocartilage (TFC), proximal component/distal component of distal radioulnar ligament (DRUL), ulnocarpal ligament (UCL) was evaluated, and the thickness of central portion of TFC was measured during the autopsy. The sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative predictive value (PPV/NPV) and positive/negative likelihood ratio (PLR/NLR) of MRI were calculated. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated between the thickness of central portion of TFC on MRI and autopsy results.Results:
With autopsy being the golden standard, the ICC of MRI= 0.838 (95%CI 0.33-0.97, P<0.01). In evaluating the condition of central portion of TFC by MRI, sensitivity= 1, specificity=1, PLR=+∞, NLR=0. In evaluating the condition of proximal component/distal component of DRUL by MRI, sensitivity=1, specificity=0.83, PLR=6, NLR=0. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, PLR, NLR of integrity of UCL in MRI was 0.33, 0.75, 0.50, 0.75, 1.33, 0.89, respectively.Conclusion:
The 3.0T MRI can be a useful tool in diagnosis of the injury of TFC and proximal/distal component of DRUL, as it has a good description of TFCC's subtle structure.
