Measurement of Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex of the Wrist and Its Clinical Significance
Abstract：Objective To explore the morphological parameters of triangular fibrocartilage complex of the wrist in order to provide anatomical basis for clinical application. Methods 40 adult carpal specimens were dissected. Mor-phology was observed and diameter,thickness as well as distance from surrounding tissues were measured. Results The thicknesses of dorsal part,ulnar edge,radial edge,palm,the thinnest part in the center,diameters of palm dorsal as well as ulnar and radial side were(5. 38 ± 0. 56)mm,(6. 45 ± 0. 32)mm,(2. 58 ± 0. 48)mm,(7. 49 ± 1. 27)mm, (1. 05 ± 0. 20)mm,(17. 62 ± 3. 56)mm and(13. 04 ± 2. 67)mm. Conclusion Complete data are concluded by dis-secting and measuring triangular fibrocartilage complex of the wrist,which can be used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases in order to reduce damage.
