For SLL injuries, the corresponding values were 0.70, 0.65, and 0.74 for 7\u00a0T and 0.69, 0.55, and 0.70 for 3\u00a0T, respectively. For both TFCC and SLL injuries, no statistically significant difference between 7\u00a0T and 3\u00a0T was found, and the confidence intervals for accuracy overlapped (0.67\u20130.94 vs 0.63\u20130.88 for TFCC injuries and 0.59\u20130.89 vs 0.52\u20130.86 for SLL injuries).
