Ganglion Cyst Associated with Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tear That Caused Ulnar Nerve Compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ganglions are the most frequently seen soft-tissue tumors in the hand. Nerve compression due to ganglion cysts at the wrist is rare. We report 2 ganglion cysts arising from triangular fibrocartilage complex, one of which caused ulnar nerve compression proximal to the Guyon's canal, leading to ulnar neuropathy. Ganglion cysts seem unimportant, and many surgeons refrain from performing a general hand examination.

Compression neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is commonly caused by constriction at the fibrous cubital tunnel or an anatomical elbow deformity. Many uncommon causes of compression have been described, including Osborne’s band, ulnar nerve subluxation,1 anatomical confines of the cubital tunnel, elbow osteoarthritis, ganglion,2 prominent medial head of triceps,3 and an anconeus epitroc...
متن کاملResults of Arthroscopic Repair of Peripheral Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tear With Exploration of Dorsal Sensory Branch of Ulnar Nerve
BACKGROUND Ulnar-sided approach in arthroscopic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair may jeopardize treatment success by exposing the dorsal sensory branch of ulnar nerve (DSBUN) in risk of injury. We aim to conduct a follow-up assessment of arthroscopic outside-in TFCC repair and efficacy of sensory nerve exploration. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of 58 patient...
متن کاملArthroscopic Repair of the Ulnar Tear of the Tfcc
Purpose: Repair of the ulnar tear of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is controversial. We presented arthroscopic repair technique of the ulnar disruption of the TFCC. Methods: Seventeen wrists of ulnar side tear of the TFCC were treated by arthroscopic trans-ulnar or capsular repair technique. Relief of pain, changes in range of rotation, and DRUJ instability was examined preand po...
متن کاملThe Study of Ulnar Variance with High-Resolution MRI: Correlation with Triangular Fibrocartialge Complex and Cartilage of Ulnar Side of the Wrist
INTRODUCTION Ulnar variance affects the force distribution across the wrist and is related with some ulnar pathologies. Ulnar minus variance is associated with Kienböck’s disease, whereas ulnar plus variance plays an important role in triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear and ulnar impaction syndrome. Ulnar variance is measured based on plain radiograph. However, plain radiograph shows ...

Physical examination revealed muscular wasting of the interossei and the hypothenar eminence, and grade M3 (MRC classification) weakness isolated to the ulnar-innervated intrinsic muscles of the hand. Sensory function in the hand was normal. Electromyographic nerv...
