The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of (1) the MRI-based modified radioulnar ratio technique and (2) the pisoscaphoid (PiSca) and radioulnar (RaUl) distances in true lateral radiographs in children and adolescents with arthroscopically-verified TFCC tears.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We retrospectively assessed lateral wrist radiographs and axial MRI sequences of 18 adolescent patients (22 wrists) who had arthroscopically-confirmed TFCC tears and compared them to similar imaging of a control group of 28 healthy patients (28 wrists). Three raters assessed the images twice in a 2-week interval. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), unifactorial ANOVA, and ROC analysis were performed with regards to the different radiographic variables.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The interrater ICCs were almost perfect for all measurements except RaUl1, which showed a substantial agreement (0.751) among the three observers. The intrarater ICCs were almost perfect when measuring PiSca and MRI, and substantial to almost perfect for RaUl. Pearson\u2018s correlation showed a moderate, positive correlation between PiSca and RaUl distances (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.608; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and a moderate, negative correlation between RaUl distance and MRI shift (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.486; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.010). When the three core groups (peripheral, central tear, controls) were compared to each other regarding the radiographic instability parameters, only the MRI shift revealed a statistically significant difference (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003). Comparisons revealed significant differences between patients and controls (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004) and peripheral tears vs. controls (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001 and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.010). The ROC analysis revealed a significant AUC only for the MRI (AuC 0.787 and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Children and adolescents with peripheral TFCC tears showed significantly increased instability parameters in MRI compared to controls.
