@entity1 @entity571 @entity174 @entity1410 @entity543
Subchondral @entity1410 have been found with arthroscopy in one third of @entity1 with dislocated @entity174 . The aim of the present, prospective study was to determine whether these @entity1410 might cause radiographic @entity571 . We studied 41 @entity1 (age 20-57 years, 22 @entity1 ) with a dislocated distal radial @entity174 . At the time of @entity174 , 12 @entity1 had subchondral @entity1410 in a radiocarpal compartment without a @entity174 line, as defined by arthroscopy. The 1-year follow-up included clinical and radiographic examinations. At follow-up, radiographic subchondral bone plate changes occurred in unfractured compartments in 8 @entity1 , of whom 7 had had a previous arthroscopically diagnosed @entity1410 (p = 0.02) in the same compartment. Of the 8 @entity1 with radiographic changes, 4 had also developed joint @entity543 ( @entity571 ( @entity571 ) grade 1) after 1 year and 6 after 3 years. All but 1 had had a @entity1410 in the same compartment. More importantly, 3 of the 16 @entity1 with entirely extra-articular @entity174 had subchondral bone plate changes in a compartment corresponding to a previous @entity1410 (p = 0.02). One of these had also developed joint @entity543 . The @entity1 with radiographic changes had a worse outcome, as measured with the Gartland and Werley wrist score (p = 0.06). In conclusion, subchondral @entity1410 in @entity174 can lead to early onset of mild @entity571 and worse outcome after 1 year.
