A member asked:
Tfcc torn 4 months ago looking for surgery. how to determine ulnar need to be shorted ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgeon' call: If you're ulna is relatively long compared to your radius most upper extremity surgeons will shorten the ulna w/ tfcc debridement/ repair routinely.Other surgeons will determine the need for ulnar shortening @ the time of arthroscopy depending on findings @ the scope( my preference)...Also the shortening( if needed) can be done 'open' or arthroscopically. Good luck!
