10.1055/b-0035-121127 Chapter 17 Arthroscopically Assisted Fixation of Intra-articular Distal Radius Fractures Introduction Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius need to be anatomically reduced, but this is often very difficult to…
10.1055/b-0035-121121 Chapter 11 Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Using a Free Tendon Graft Introduction Instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) results from injury or laxity of the…
10.1055/b-0035-121120 Chapter 10 Arthroscopically Assisted Foveal Reinsertion of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Introduction The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is the primary stabilizer of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). Recent histological…
10.1055/b-0035-121117 Chapter 7 Anatomy of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex: Current Concepts Introduction The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is one of the intrinsic ligaments of the wrist. It is often injured…
10.1055/b-0035-121119 Chapter 9 “Double Loop” Suture Repair in Large Dorsal Tears of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Introduction Anatomical and histological studies have clarified the three-dimensional structure of the triangular fibrocartilage…
10.1055/b-0035-121111 Chapter 1 Materials and Set-up Introduction Arthroscopic exploration of the wrist has been practiced for decades, but arthroscopic surgery has been developed relatively recently. The wrist is particularly mobile,…
10.1055/b-0035-121116 Chapter 6 Arthroscopic Radial Styloidectomy Introduction Radial styloidectomy is frequently associated with other procedures, such as treatment of scaphoid nonunion or chronic lesions of the scapholunate ligament. It is…
10.1055/b-0035-121115 Chapter 5 Arthroscopic Excision of Volar Wrist Ganglia Introduction Volar wrist ganglia are less common than dorsal ones. They occur mainly in the radiocarpal joint. Although rare, any occurrence…
