Abstract:Background: Palmer type 1B triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears are a common cause of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. Unfortunately, the best surgical technique for TFCC reinsertion is still unknown, and up to a quarter of patients report instability after repair. The purpose of this systematic review of cadaver studies was to compare the biomechanical outcomes of different surgical techniques used for Palmer 1B TFCC tears. Methods: A systemic review of all cadaver studies published befor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
