The incidence of wrist interosseous ligament and triangular fibrocartilage articular disc disruptions: a cadaveric study

The Journal of Hand Surgery
Donald H LeeEdwin L Bradley

Abstract

The purpose of this cadaveric wrist study was to determine the incidence and size of defects of the scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL), lunotriquetral interosseous ligament (LTIL), and triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) articular disc, and to determine their relationship to wrist arthrosis. The status of the SLIL, LTIL, and the TFC articular disc was determined in 96 cadaveric wrists with an average age of 75 years (range, 61-92 y). The location and length of the SLIL and LTIL ligament disruptions and the site of ligament detachment were noted. Ligament disruptions were classified into 1 of 3 grades based on the size of the ligament disruption and the absence (grade 1 and 2 disruptions) or presence (grade 3 disruption) of wrist arthrosis. The location, size, and configuration of the TFC articular disc disruptions also were noted. Disruptions of the SLIL were noted in 34 wrists (35%). There were 20 grade 1, 4 grade 2, and 10 grade 3 ligament disruptions. The average length of ligament disruption was 10.9 mm, or 40% of the length of the ligament. Twenty-four of 34 SLIL disruptions occurred without wrist arthrosis. Disruptions of the LTIL were noted in 47 wrists (49%). There were 23 grade 1, 10 grade 2, and 14 grade 3 ligament...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
