Outcome of Arthroscopic Dorsal Peripheral Repairs of the Triangular Fibrocartilage with a Positive Hook Test and an Intact Foveal Ligament.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study was performed to determine whether an arthroscopic dorsal peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair can stabilize symptomatic distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability in patients with a positive hook test, an intact foveal insertion, and a dorsal peripheral detachment of the TFCC.

Materials and methods

All patients who had an isolated arthroscopic dorsal peripheral TFCC repair performed by the primary author between August 2018 and April 2023 were included in the study. Functional measures of range of motion (ROM), gross grip, lateral pinch, force plate, pronation strength, supination strength, visual analogue scale (VAS) at rest, VAS on use, patient rated wrist evaluation (PRWE), and disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH)
