Effective treatment for wrist pain and instability
The debridement of the triangular fibrocartilage complex is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of damaged or diseased tissue in the wrist joint. This is a common treatment for patients suffering from wrist pain or instability caused by a tear or injury to the triangular fibrocartilage complex. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves the use of a small arthroscope to visualize the joint and remove the damaged tissue. The surgeon will make small incisions in the wrist to insert the arthroscope and other surgical instruments. Once the damaged tissue is removed, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures or surgical tape. Recovery time for this procedure is typically a few weeks and may involve physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the wrist joint.
