Injury may also occur from a distraction force applied to the volar forearm or wrist. Finally, tears of the TFCC are frequently found by patients with distal radius fractures. [7] Perforations and defects in the TFCC are not all traumatic. There is an age related correlation with lesions in the TFCC, but many of these defects are asymptomatic ...
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 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?
When my family moved to New Hampshire going into my freshman year of high school, Dr. C. Everett Koop, President Ronald Reagan’s surgeon general, became my neighbor. As an aspiring doctor, I ...
Lifting weights can also support bone health and increase bone density. A 2018 study published in Endocrinology and Metabolism found that strength training is essential for maintaining ...
Traumatic tears are usually radial or vertical in the meniscus and more likely to produce a moveable fragment that can catch in the knee and therefore require surgical treatment. [citation needed] A meniscus can tear due to an internally or externally rotated knee in a flexed position, with the foot in a flexed position. [5]
Having a lot of processed foods and unhealthy fats also raises the risk of weight gain, which can put “unnecessary strain” on your joints and muscles—and that can make pain worse, Williams says.
