A member asked:
How can you treat a tear of the scapholunate ligament and central tear of the triangular fibrocartliage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two different cures: Central tears of the TFCC are treated with arthroscopic debridement as the central portion does not have adequate blood flow to heal. The S-L ligament sometimes responds to arthroscopically guided percutaneous pinning, often requires repairer reconstruction to include dorsal capsulodesis. Seek care with board certified hand surgeon
