title: Arthroscopic Knotless Peripheral Ulnar-Sided TFCC Repair.
abstract: This article describes the indications and technique for all-arthroscopic knotless repair of a peripheral tear to the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). The advantage of this technique is that it allows repair of the articular disk back to the fovea of the ulna without any suture knots to irritate the patient. The learning curve is steep, but once learned, this technique can be performed very quickly and is faster. There are no knots to irritate the patient, and in the author's opinion, there is quicker pain relief than with other techniques.
