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.
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.
The TFCC has a substantial risk for injury and degeneration because of its anatomic complexity and multiple functions. Application of an extension-pronation force to an axial-load wrist, such as in a fall on an outstretched hand, causes most of the traumatic injuries of the TFCC.
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.
