A new arthroscopic repair technique for triangular fibrocartilage complex using an intracapsular suture: an outside-in transfer all-inside repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arthroscopic repair is a promising, minimally invasive surgical technique for patients with Palmer type 1B peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears. Although several arthroscopic techniques are effective for repairing Palmer type 1B TFCC tears, some shortcomings remain. So, we report an arthroscopic repair technique for the treatment of Palmer type 1B Atzei class 1 TFCC tears using an intracapsular suture: an outside-in transfer all-inside repair.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 38 Palmer type 1B TFCC injury patients admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into 2 groups. The group A was sutured from the outside to the inside, with a total of 21 cases; the group B was sutured with the new arthroscopic repair technique, with a total of 17
