Preliminary experience of fully arthroscopic repair of triangular fibrocartilage complex lesions.
Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions are commonly repaired arthroscopically. Most of the interest in repairing TFCC lesions is focused on the development of an internal technique to avoid an extra incision of the skin. The most common techniques in use today are the inside-out or the outside-in, both of which have the disadvantage of requiring an additional opening to tie the suture. We suggest a personal method that allows an all-inside repair for type 1B lesions with a technique similar to the one used for rotator cuff repair in the shoulder.
