Arthroscopic image of a central triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear. X-ray: X-rays of the wrist are made in two directions: posterior-anterior (PA) and lateral. Radiographs are useful to diagnose or rule out possible bone fractures, a positive ulnar variance or osteoarthritis. The TFCC is not visible on an X-ray, regardless of its ...
Both stages of TFCC tears are treatable with an arthroscopic intervention, although the degenerative stage is operated according to the "Arthroscopic wafer procedure". [3] In this procedure, the surgeon debrides the TFCC and a limited part of the ulnar head. If the patient has a Class 1 TFCC tear, a different arthroscopic technique is used.
The TFCC is a cartilage and ligament complex in the wrist that is important for stability and function. If torn, it can result in pain, catching and instability.
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.
Israel blew up an Iran sponsored Syrian missile factory after its elite commandos raided it last September. The missiles posed an existential threat to Israel amid its war against Tehran's proxies.

Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) or fibrosis release procedures [1] is a noninvasive procedure to treat chronic pain which has been unmanageable by other methods. MUA is designed not only to relieve pain, but also to break up excessive scar tissue.
