Arthroscopic suturing of TFCC lesions

Arthroscopy. 1993;9(2):242-3. doi: 10.1016/s0749-8063(05)80386-x.

Abstract

Different types of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions have been described. We propose an arthroscopic repair of the peripheral tear, as it is a tear in the vascular portion of the TFCC. The technique is based on one used for meniscal repairs of the knee, and it is quite easy to perform.
