Procedure

Using standard wrist arthroscopy portals and setup, type 1B tears of the TFCC are repaired back to their anatomic insertion on the bone. Using a specialized Micro SutureLasso™ suture passer, a 2-0 FiberWire® suture is passed through the TFCC and a mattress stitch is created. The TFCC kit is then used to place a knotless 2.5 mm PushLock anchor into the base of the ulna. The sutures are tightened, bringing both the superficial and deep fibers of the TFCC back to their insertion site on the bone. The knotless anchor is inserted and final fixation of the TFCC back to the bone is achieved.

Child (D)

Using standard arthroscopic portals, the Micro SutureLasso™ are directed through the TFCC tissue adjacent to the tear. The Micro SutureLasso can be inserted using either the outside-in or inside-out techniques. A specialized 2-0 FiberStick allows direct passage of 2-0 FiberWire suture through the Micro SutureLasso and TFCC tissue. Using either technique a mattress stitch is created over the tear. The sutures are then tied to the capsule to complete the repair.

Product

The Triangular Fibrocartilage (TFCC) Ulnar Tunnel Repair technique provides a reliable and reproducible option to treat peripheral ulnar tears. By repairing both the superficial and deep layers (ligamentum subcruentum) of the TFCC down to bone, this technique recreates an anatomic TFCC insertion. FiberStick™ or FiberWire® sutures provide a strong and permanent repair of the articular disk.1 The 2.5 mm Mini PushLock® or 2.5 mm Nano SwiveLock® anchor imparts the final knotless, no-profile fixation.
