Role of Knotless Suture for TFCC Injury

Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries are common in the wrist, often resulting from trauma or chronic overuse activities. The management of TFCC tears has evolved significantly, with surgical options aimed at restoring function and minimizing pain. This talk will review the knotless repair technique for TFCC injuries, highlighting its potential advantages over traditional repair methods. Knotless repair utilizes specific suture push lock 2.5 mm or pop lock 2.9 mm systems designed to secure the torn fibrocartilage without the need for knots, thereby reducing tissue irritation and enhancing biomechanical stability. Our clinical outcomes related to this repai technique demonstrate a promising reduction in recovery time and improved range of motion. Furthermore, our rehabilitation protocols including splint technique is warranted to establish our guidelines to ensure efficacy of knotless repairs in diverse patient populations. This summary underscores the relevance of knotless TFCC repair as a significant advancement in wrist surgery, emphasizing the need for continued exploration of its clinical applications and outcomes.
