Triangular fibrocartilage complex tears: a review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears are a common source of ulnar sided wrist pain. Originally described by Palmer, in 1981, as a complex of several structures, our understanding of the anatomy and the function of the TFCC has been refined by histologic studies. The TFCC plays an important role in load bearing across the wrist as well as in distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) stabilization. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy as well as the Palmer classification system helps to guide treatment options.

INTRODUCTION Wrist arthroscopy has evolved since its inception to become an essential diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the management of various wrist disorders. Our study aimed to examine the outcomes of arthroscopic debridement in the treatment of scapholunate (SL), lunotriquetral (LT) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 68 c...
متن کاملArthroscopic repair of the triangular fibrocartilage complex using a hypodermic needle: a technical note.
Tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) often lead to chronic wrist pain. The commonly used 2-needle outside-in and inside-out suturing techniques require an extra incision to tie the sutures subcutaneously. We use a practical and cost-effective arthroscopic technique for treatment of peripheral Palmer type 1B TFCC tears using a hypodermic needle. This obviates the need for an add...

Arthroscopy has revolutionized the practice of orthopaedics by providing the technical capability to examine and treat intra-articular abnormalities. The development of wrist arthroscopy was a natural progression from the successful application of arthroscopy to other, larger joints. The wrist is a labyrinth composed of 8 carpal bones, multiple articular surfaces with 28 intrinsic and extrinsic...
