Critical Aspects

AbstractUlnar wrist pain, caused by a broad spectrum of bone and soft tissue injuries, is the most common clinical condition of the wrist. Multiple surgical techniques and their variants in the treatment of these injuries are constantly evolving. Postoperative evaluation of the wrist for many surgeons is limited to serial clinical and radiographic monitoring. However, imaging methods such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and arthrographic techniques (arthrographic CT and arthrographic MRI) play a fundamental role in diagnosing and managing postsurgical complications.The several critical aspects in evaluating the postsurgical wrist imaging spectrum are familiarity with the surgical techniques, knowledge of the original clinical problem, understanding the strength and limitations of the different radiologic modalities, and effective communication between surgeon and radiologist.

Kienbock’S Disease

Two patients with Kienböck’s disease who had been treated by radial shortening developed ulnar wrist pain post-operatively due to excessive radial shortening. In both cases, ulnar shortening was required to improve symptoms and function. Excessive radial shortening can cause ulnar wrist pain and compromise the improvement of grip strength and range of motion of the wrist.

Ulnar Wrist Pain

We reviewed a series of 62 consecutive patients with dorsally displaced fractures of the distal radius, including 20 extra-articular and 42 intra-articular fractures. All patients were treated with palmar locking plate systems at our institution between 2002 and 2006. After a minimum follow-up time of 12 weeks, the fractures had healed with satisfactory radiographic and functional results. According to the demerit point system of Gartland and Werley, 35 patients were rated excellent, 26 good, and one fair. In the good and fair groups, the demerit points were almost all for ulnar wrist pain. Our results suggest that palmar locking plate systems enable early functional mobilization with good reproducible radiographic and clinical outcomes. Since nine out of 62 patients had residual ulnar wrist pain at the final follow-up evaluation, further investigation of the pathogenesis of ulnar wrist pain is necessary to obtain better functional outcomes.

Triangular Fibrocartilage

In order to visualize dynamic variations related to ulnar-sided wrist pain, animation was reconstructed from T2* coronal-sectioned magnetic resonance imaging in each of the four phases of grip motion for nine wrists in patients with ulnar pain. Eight of the nine wrists showed a positive ulnar variance of less than 2 mm. Ulnocarpal impaction and triangular fibrocartilage complex injury were assessed on the basis of animation and arthroscopy, respectively. Animation revealed ulnocarpal impaction in four wrists. In one of the four wrists, the torn portion of the articular disc was impinged between the ulnar head and ulnar proximal side of the lunate. In another wrist, the ulnar head impacted the lunate directly through the defect in the articular disc that had previously been excised. An ulnar shortening osteotomy successfully relieved ulnar wrist pain in all four cases with both ulnocarpal impaction and Palmer’s Class II triangular fibrocartilage complex tears. This method demonstrated impairment of the articular disc and longitudinal instability of the distal radioulnar joint simultaneously and should be of value in investigating dynamic pathophysiology causing ulnar wrist pain.
