Abstract Objective To study the effect of extracorporeal shock wave on the injury of triangular fibrocartilage complex in wrist induced by military training.Methods Fourteen out-patient cases accepted extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the pain point and the around of the wrist with 1.5-2.5 Bar impact pressure, 10 times/second, 3000 impacting times, once a week, for 4 weeks. Mayo scores and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were taken to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results After the treatment, the mayo scores were improved significantly, and the therapeutic effect included 9 excellent cases, 3 good cases, and 2 moderate cases. Compared with the pretherapy, the VAS decreased obviously (P<0.05). The total effective rate of extracorporeal shock wave on the injury of triangular fibrocartilage complex was 100 % in all 14 cases. Follow-up visit lasted for half a year with no recurrence.Conclusion Extracorporeal shock wave has significant therapeutic effect on the injury of triangular fibrocartilage complex, with operation easily and no adverse reactions.
