Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PLC syndrome is a spectrum that encompasses PLC instability and ends with PTA. Early recognition and treatment of PLC instability may disrupt its progression to PTA. The pisiform tracking test is a provocative maneuver that aids in diagnosing PLC syndrome. Pisiformectomy with preservation of the soft tissue confluence remains the treatment of choice for severe PLC syndrome that does not respond to nonoperative treatment.
