Early functional outcomes following open reconstruction of the triangular fibrocartilage complex.

Introduction: The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) plays a pivotal role in wrist stability and function. TFCC injuries are a common cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain and distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability, often requiring surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail. This study evaluates the outcomes of open surgical repair of TFCC injuries, with a focus on functional recovery between 6 and 18 months postoperatively.
