Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 17. Hand Clin. 2011 Aug;27(3):273-9. doi: 10.1016/j.hcl.2011.05.008. Epub 2011 Jul 13. Arthroscopic knotless peripheral ulnar-sided TFCC repair. Geissler WB(1). Author information: (1)Division of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, University of Mississippi Health Care, 2500 North State Street, Jackson, MS 39216, USA. 3doghill@msn.com Peripheral ulnar-sided tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) are common injuries and are amenable to arthroscopic repair. This article describes an all-arthroscopic knotless technique for TFCC repair. This technique has the advantage of being all arthroscopic using 3 portals, has the ability to repair both the superficial and deep layers of the articular disk, repairs the articular disk directly back to bone, and does not require any suture knots that may irritate the surrounding soft tissues. The surgical technique is described in detail. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. DOI: 10.1016/j.hcl.2011.05.008
