Editorial Commentary: The Hook Test Is More Accurate for Detecting Foveal Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tears but Not More Important Than the Trampoline Test

Wrist arthroscopy is a successful tool to diagnose and treat several intra-articular wrist pathologies. To assess the stability integrity of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), most commonly injured structure in ulnocarpal compartment, trampoline hook tests are frequently used daily practice. However, their arthroscopic performance measures have not been well elucidated date. While test may primarily be seen as sensitive detect foveal TFCC tears, equal importance for clinician because it can occurring superficial (distal) tears peripheral area. As opposed test, however, might more easily lead interrater disagreement since rebound after probing rather continuum than binary measure related different severity disruption. The combination both should thus pursued they complement each other very well. Proper interpretation needs sufficient experience done concordance with clinical evaluation (ie, fovea sign, distal radioulnar joint ballottement test). Hence, accurate but all together important establish correct diagnosis. For once, Captain Hook has won!
