Coalizão lunato-triquetral e síndrome da impactação ulnar: ensaio iconográfico

Coalizão lunatotriquetral e síndrome da impactação ulnar estão incluídas no espectro de doenças do punho medial. A coexistência dessas entidades no mesmo pulso é rara. O objetivo deste ensaio pictórico é apresentar a etiologia, o curso clínico, os achados de imagem e o tratamento da coalizão lunatotriquetral e da síndrome da impactação ulnar, e a coexistência dessas doenças.

Unitermos:
Coalizão lunatotriquetral; Síndrome da impactação ulnar; Punho

Figure 1
Lunotriquetral coalition Minnaar types 1, 2 and 3. A: Type 1 (arrow) is a fibrous syndesmosis between the lunate and triquetrum, in this case found incidentally in a patient presenting with acute distal radius and ulna fractures. B: Type 2 is incomplete bony coalition, as evidenced by a small residual lucent cleft in this case (arrow). C: Type 3 is complete bony coalition.

Figure 2
Different examples of Minnaar type 4 lunotriquetral coalition. A: Lunotriquetral coalition (white arrow) accompanying by capitatotrapezoid coalition (black arrow). B: Multiple short metacarpal bones (asterisks) associated with lunotriquetral coalition.

Thumbnail

Figure 3
Positive ulnar variance. The ulnar head is distal to the articular surface of the radius (line). Prominent subchondral cystic changes (arrow) are associated with the ulnocarpal joint surface of the lunate in this patient.

Thumbnail

Figure 4
Negative and neutral ulnar variance. A: In negative ulnar variance, the ulnar head is proximal relative to the articular surface of the radius (line). B: In neutral ulnar variance, the radius and ulna are equal length (line).

Thumbnail

Figure 5
Symptomatic type 2 lunotriquetral coalition complicated by ulnar impaction syndrome requiring surgical management. A,B: Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs show acquired positive ulnar variance as the long term sequela of distal radius fracture malunion, with persistent chronic loss of radial length and dorsal tilt (arrow) following healing. C: Surgical resection of the distal ulna (arrow) was performed for operative management.

Figure 6
Locations of bony pathology in ulnar impaction syndrome complicating lunotriquetral coalition. A: Posteroanterior radiograph shows positive ulnar variance, type 2 lunotriquetral coalition, and subchondral cysts at the ulnocarpal articular surface of the lunate (arrow). B: Coronal image of unenhanced computed tomography shows positive ulnar variance, type 3 lunotriquetral coalition, and subchondral cysts in the ulnar head (black arrow) and triquetrum (white arrow).

Thumbnail

Figure 7
Isolated type 3 lunotriquetral coalition complicated by ulnar impaction syndrome. Subtle sclerosis and subchondral cyst formation (short white arrow) is present in a central location along the ulnocarpal surface of the lunotriquetral coalition, in addition to more prominent cystic changes and central osteophyte formation at the ulnar head (black arrow). Linear chondrocalcinosis is centered in the ulnocarpal joint space (long white arrow).

Figure 8
Syndrome-related lunotriquetral coalition complicated by ulnar impaction syndrome. A,B: Right and left anteroposterior radiographs of the wrists show type 4 lunotriquetral coalition with associated bony coalition of the entire distal carpal row bilaterally (asterisks). Subchondral cystic changes are present in the left ulnar head (white arrow) and the ulnocarpal aspect of the bilateral lunotriquetral coalitions (black arrows).

Figure 9
Type 3 lunotriquetral coalition complicated by ulnar impaction syndrome on magnetic resonance imaging. A,B: Coronal T1-weighted and coronal STIR-weighted magnetic resonance images show bone marrow edema (short arrows) adjacent to a large subchondral cyst at the ulnar head, and a triangular fibrocartilage tear at the radial attachment (long arrow).
