The Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Is A Well Defined Structure Located on Ulnar Aspect Of Wrist Functioning Primarily To Stabilize Distal Radio –Ulnar Joint (DRUJ) And Also Act As Shock Absorber Across Ulno-Carpal Joint.

PURPOSE To report on the outcomes of using ulnar lengthening combined with acute angular correction for the treatment of forearm deformities in patients affected by multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE). Our hypothesis was that this procedure would improve both radiographic measurements and clinical outcomes with minimal complications. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on patie...

Objective: The present study was conducted to assess the involvement of ulnar sensory and/or motor nerve fibers in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and whether this affects the accuracy of the median versus ulnar comparative tests. Patients and methods: The present study included 145 CTS hands and 71 asymptomatic control hands. Clinical examination was done. The following tests were d...

The TFCC consists of triangular fibrocartilage (TFC), meniscus homologue, ulnolunate ligament, ulnotriquetral ligament, radioulnar ligament, and sheath floor of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU). The TFCC functions as a stabilizer of the ulnocarpal and DRU joints, load distributor between ulna and ulnar carpus and introduces smooth forearm rotation. The TFCC is a hammock-like shape supporting an...

Ulnar tunnel syndrome could be broadly defined as a compressive neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the level of the wrist. The ulnar tunnel, or Guyon's canal, has a complex and variable anatomy. Various factors may precipitate the onset of ulnar tunnel syndrome. Patient presentation depends on the anatomic zone of ulnar nerve compression: zone I compression, motor and sensory signs and symptoms; ...

HYPOTHESIS Using Lister's tubercle and the ulnar styloid as landmarks, accurate localization of the distal radioulnar joint can be achieved without the need for an image-guided approach. METHODS Cadaveric dissection of 16 upper extremities was performed to measure the relationships between the ulnar styloid, Lister's tubercle, and the distal radioulnar joint. In each specimen, the location of...

background and objectives: there are different types of vascular access. we compared the patency rate for six months in ulnar-basilic fistula and radio-cephalic fistula for vascular access in hemodialysis patients.   methods: the study was performed on 60 patients of 50.6±13.5 years of age with end-stage renal failure undergoing hemodialysis from 2012-2014 in imam ali hospital in zahedan. patie...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to measure the degree of movement of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel using sonography in patients with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow compared to a healthy control group. METHODS We examined the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel using sonography with the elbow extended and then flexed in 26 patients with ulnar neuropathy and 13 control participants. T...
