The scan showed a tear of my TFCC; the doctor told me I needed surgery and I would be out of tennis for four to six months. I do not want surgery and wonder if this treatment plan sounds right to you?
There is an increased risk of interosseous intercarpal injury if the ulnar variance (the difference in height between the distal end of the ulna and the distal end of the radius) is more than 2mm and there is fracture into the wrist joint. [5] Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury occurs in 39% to 82% of cases.
Indications for acute TFCC surgery are: a clearly unstable DRUJ, or the existence of additional unstable or displaced fractures. TFCC surgery is also indicated when conservative treatment proves insufficient in about 8–12 weeks. Fractures of the radius bone are often associated by TFCC damage.
Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...
The surgery was called "controversial" by many sportswriters, due to a lack of studies on the long-term effects and the fact that an unsuccessful surgery could end an athlete's career. [9] Steadman has also adapted the surgery into a treatment to help reattach torn ligaments (a technique he calls the "healing response"). [citation needed]
Tiger Woods has undergone another surgery following a painful Masters, and it's unclear when he will be able to golf again.. Woods’ team announced on social media Wednesday afternoon that he ...
The RICE method is an effective procedure used in the initial treatment of a soft tissue injury. [6] Rest It is suggested that the patient take a break from the activity that caused the injury in order to give the injury time to heal. Ice The injury should be iced on and off in 20 minute intervals, avoiding direct contact of the ice with the skin.
The normal process of bone healing is interrupted or stalled. [citation needed] Since the process of bone healing is quite variable, a nonunion may go on to heal without intervention in very few cases. In general, if a nonunion is still evident at 6 months post-injury it will remain unhealed without specific treatment, usually orthopedic ...
