Abstract

A cadaver model was used to evaluate the effect of partial excision of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) on ulnar wrist kinetics. Excision of less than two thirds of the horizontal portion of the TFCC was found to have no statistical effect experimentally on forearm axial load transmission. This data supports, from a biomechanical standpoint, partial excision of the central portion of the TFCC—a procedure advocated clinically by some for treatment of a central TFCC perforation.
