Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injuries in Racquet Sport Players: Prevalence, Management, and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries are common in athletes and may lead to substantial pain and functional limitations. This study characterizes TFCC injuries in athletes, particularly those involved in racquet sports. We also report on treatment patterns, patient outcomes, and risk factors for TFCC injury.

Methods

Patients with soft tissue injuries of the wrist at our institution in the last 9 years were screened for diagnosis of TFCC injury associated with racquet sports. Patients were excluded if there was no record of treatment or follow-up after diagnosis. Retrospective chart review was performed to collect data on demographics, injury and treatment specifics, return to baseline activity (RTBA) time after initiating treatment, and complications.
