Arthroscopy assisted single bone tunnel two stranded en Masse repair for peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed (1) to provide a stepwise, reproducible description of a single-bone-tunnel, two-stranded, anchorless ligament-specific ('en Masse') repair for traumatic peripheral TFCC tears, and (2) to evaluate one-year clinical outcomes and exploratory prognostic factors in a retrospective consecutive case series. Forty-eight patients were retrospectively included. Postoperatively, ballottement testing revealed no detectable distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) laxity (p < 0.001). The mean visual analog scale (VAS) pain score (7.2 to 1.9), grip strength (66.1% to 81.3%), Mayo wrist score (MWS, 64.3 to 81.9), and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score (37.1 to 12.7) were improved postoperatively (p < 0.001). There were no surgery-related complications. On multivariable analy
