Triangular fibrocartilage complex tears in the athlete.
The treatment of triangular fibrocartilage tears in the athlete presents more of a rehabilitation challenge than a surgical technique challenge. The rehabilitation regimen is a function of the sport. Although injuries to the shoulder and knee can be career ending, injuries to the TFCC usually, but not always, can be treated successfully.
