Introduction: Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear is often considered to be the cause of ulnar wrist pain. The primary treatment typically involves non-operative methods; however, in cases of persistent symptoms, operative intervention has been proposed as a viable option. Depending on the tear's morphology, treatment may involve debridement (central or radial tear) or repair (peripheral tear).

Specifically, the incidences for rotator cuff repair, partial meniscectomy, ankle arthroscopy, distal radius fracture fixation, and wrist arthroscopy surgeries were calculated using a too small population size. Accordingly, corrected calculations resulted in higher incidence values for these surgeries, impacting Table 3 and Figure 3, which now show accurate incidence rates.

Prior meta-analyses have been limited by suboptimal data synthesis methodologies. We conducted an updated evidence review comparing the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF), collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH), and limited fasciectomy (LF) using the GRADE approach.
