Seventy-five patients who underwent surgery for DRF from January 2021 to September 2023 were included. All patients were evaluated by standard radiography and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and underwent a 3.0 T magnetic-resonance imaging examination of the involved wrist to identify TFCC foveal tear. Patients were allocated into two groups according to the presence of osteoporosis: patients with osteoporosis (group I) and those without osteoporosis (group II). Group I showed a significantly larger displacement of fractures compared to group II (radial inclination; 13.7 \u00b1 5.4 vs. 17.9 \u00b1 4.2; p &lt; 0.001, dorsal angulation; 22.2 \u00b1 12.1 vs. 16.5 \u00b1 9.4; p = 0.024, ulnar variance; 4.15 \u00b1 2.1 vs. 2.2 \u00b1 1.9; p &lt; 0.001). Dorsal angulation and ulnar variance were found to be independent prognostic factors for TFCC foveal tear in logistic regression analysis. Displacement of fractures was related to osteoporosis, and dorsal angulation and ulnar variance were independent prognostic factors for TFCC foveal tear. However, osteoporosis was not identified as a factor associated with TFCC foveal tears.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13040992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]],"date-time":"2024-02-09T09:04:01Z","timestamp":1707469441000},"page":"992","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Fracture Severity and Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injury in Distal Radius Fractures with or without Osteoporosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ho-Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Medical Center, Seoul 07441, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ki-Tae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, College of Medicine, Hallym University, Anyang 14068, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanghyeon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Medical Center, Seoul 07441, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joon-Hyeok","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Medical Center, Seoul 07441, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9194-6525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jung-Youn","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Medical Center, Seoul 07441, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rundgren, J., Bojan, A., Mellstrand Navarro, C., and Enocson, A.
