PURPOSE: This study reviews the results of acute repair of peripheral ulnar-sided triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) detachment associated with @entity7334 . TYPE OF STUDY: Two-year follow-up of @entity1 who had undergone acute TFCC repair. METHODS: Fifty-six @entity1 underwent arthroscopically assisted treatment of @entity7334 using external fixation and adjunctive percutaneous pinning between 1994 and 1998. Thirteen @entity1 with an acute, complete tear of the ulnar attachment of the TFCC were treated using arthroscopic repair of the TFCC in addition to stabilization of the radius fracture. All @entity1 were evaluated at a mean of 24 months (range, 17 to 35 months) with a physical examination, wrist radiographs, and a Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) module outcome assessment questionnaire. RESULTS: Average wrist flexion, extension, pronation, and supination were 67.3, 61.8, 79.1, and 86.8, respectively. The average grip strength was 78% of the uninjured side. The results of the Gartland and Werley grading system were good to excellent in 12 @entity1 and fair in 1 @entity1 . The DASH outcome scores revealed a mean functional score of 13 and a mean athletic score of 12. None of the @entity1 reported ulnar-sided @entity158 at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopically assisted TFCC repair in conjunction with distal radius fixation resulted in a high degree of @entity1 satisfaction and good to excellent clinical outcomes.
