A method for all-inside arthroscopic repair of Palmer 1B triangular fibrocartilage complex tears.
There have been different descriptions of arthroscopic repair of the Palmer 1B tear of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). Both outside-in and inside-out techniques are in common use, but both have the disadvantage of an extra incision to tie the knots and they are time consuming. We present a technique for all-inside repair of Palmer 1B TFCC tears using a technique known from meniscal repair in the knee joint.
