Comparison between conventional MRI and MR arthrography in the diagnosis of triangular fibrocartilage tears and correlation with arthroscopic findings

Injury Aug 07, 2019

Petsatodis E, Pilavaki M, Kalogera A, et al. - The diagnostic accuracy of conventional MRI was compared with that of MR arthrography (MRA) in the depiction of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears. Wrist MRI and MRA were performed on a total of 60 patients with clinical findings suggestive of TFCC tears. Arthroscopy confirmed 40 tears. MRA led to the identification of 38/40 tears while MRI led to the identification of 26/40 tears. Findings suggest a higher sensitivity and specificity of MR arthrography vs conventional wrist MRI in terms of the diagnosis of TFCC tears. The diagnostic accuracy between wrist arthroscopy and MRA was not different.
