Diagnostic accuracy of musculoskeletal ultrasound and conventional radiography in the assessment of the wrist triangular fibrocartilage complex in patients with definite diagnosis of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease.

Abstract

This study supports the diagnostic accuracy of MSUS and x-ray in evaluating TFCC crystal deposits in patients with CPPD. Sensitivity and specificity of MSUS and x-ray resulted comparable. The highest MSUS score of the extent of the deposits correlated better with x-ray findings.
