title: Arthroscopic treatment of triangular fibrocartilage complex lesions of the wrist.
abstract: 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.
