title: Traumatic perforation of the articular disc of the triangular fibrocartilage complex of the wrist.
abstract: Isolated perforation of the articular disc portion of the triangular fibrocartilage complex has been successfully treated by simple excision of the free flap at the site of the tear. This approach is useful in the patient with neutral ulnar variance and no significant articular surface changes on the proximal carpal row or distal ulna.
