Arthroscopic treatment of triangular fibrocartilage complex lesions of the wrist.
The arthroscopic treatments (suture, debridement and "wafer" resection of the distal ulna) performed for TFCC lesions in 42 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Overall results were disappointing, with a better outcome for isolated lesions, for sutured TFCC's and degenerative lesions.
