Wrist arthroscopy: treatment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the functional results of treatment in 55 patients who were found to have Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) tears during wrist arthroscopy. Methods: A total of 104 patients with chronic wrist pain underwent arthroscopic evaluation, during which 55 patients showed TFCC injuries. Primary suturing (n=2) and TFCC debridement (n=53) were performed. The functional results were evaluated using a modified Mayo scale. Results: Functional mean scores with modified Mayo scale were 47 and 74 before and at the end of the treatment, respectively. Excellent, good, moderate, and fair results were obtained in 30 (54%), 17 (31%), six (11%), and two (4%) patients, respectively. Conclusion: Arthroscopic surgery appears to be the best method of treatment in TFCC injuries.
