A member asked:
Tfcc tear and bone contusion. will all the hand surgeon perform a good tfcc surgery? or should i ask them for experience?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Experience is key: I addition to tfcc repair, ask your hand/wrist surgeon about the need to shorten the ulna (small bone on the outside of the wrist). Wrists with length discrepancy (one bone longer than the other) can have a propensity to certain injuries/conditions. "leveling" the joint can help prevent recurrent injury/problems.
