Objective This study was performed to determine the prevalence of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries as shown by 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with distal radius fractures. Methods In total, 57 patients with distal radius fractures underwent 3.0T MRI examinations to observe the incidence of TFCC injuries after manual reduction and cast fixation. The fracture type was categorized by the AO classification, and the TFCC injury pattern was evaluated using the Palmer classification. The correlation between the location of the TFCC injury and the distal radius fracture pattern, distal radioulnar joint instability, or ulnar styloid fracture was analyzed. Results Fifty-five TFCC injuries were diagnosed. There was no significant relationship between the TFCC injury pattern and the type of distal radius fracture, distal radioulnar joint instability, or ulnar styloid fracture. Conclusions This study revealed a high prevalence of TFCC injuries in patients with distal radius fractures. The 3.0T MRI examination helps to assess TFCC injuries in patients with distal radius fractures. Clinical Trial Registration ChiCTR1800017101.

The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in combination with an opening radial wedge osteotomy for malunion of distal radius fractures was performed in six patients. Follow-up at an average of 40.3 months showed two excellent, three good, and one poor result. Satisfactory results were obtained in restoration of forearm rotation and improvement of pain in all patients. The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in addition to an opening radial wedge osteotomy was indicated when a preoperative limitation of forearm rotation with severe pain and radiographic evidence of degenerative changes in the distal radioulnar joint were present. We have found combining these two procedures to be a reliable treatment option for malunion of distal radius fractures.

Lesions of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) are commonly associated with distal radius fractures and may adversely affect the functional outcome. This prospective study evaluated computed tomography, using the radioulnar ratio (RUR), to detect laxity of the distal radioulnar joint in 48 consecutive patients with acute distal radius fractures and compared the results with a radioulnar stress test. We found the clinical stress test to be reliable in chronic cases, but the RUR method of questionable value in both acute and chronic cases.
