Article Synopsis
  • Advances in wrist arthroscopy have led to the development of the volar distal radioulnar (VDRU) portal, which is strategically placed near the ulnar edge of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon.
  • A study conducted on human cadaver specimens aimed to assess the safety of the VDRU portal, finding no injuries to nearby neurovascular structures.
  • The VDRU portal was deemed safe and effective, providing a new approach for treating triangular fibrocartilage complex issues.

Peripheral injuries of the triangular fibrocartilage complex can produce pain and instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). There are several techniques for the repair or reconstruction of these injuries, which vary depending on the location, healing capacity, and viability of the tissues, as described by the classification proposed by Atzei. In irreparable chronic injuries of the triangular fibrocartilage complex in which there are no associated chondral injuries of the DRUJ or in failures in previous repair techniques, ligament reconstruction plasty with tendon grafts, either by open surgery or assisted by arthroscopy, are the treatments of choice.
