Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) constitutes the major part in the triangular fibrocartilage complex, which stabilizes the distal radioulnar joint and functions as a cushion for axial compression forces. Tears in the TFC are often encountered with positive ulnar variance and regarded as part of a degenerative process of the ulnocarpal joint. They are occasionally seen as the result of trauma and are less likely to be found in a young population, especially in those who are in the first two decades of life, without causative traumatic injury. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with bilateral negative ulnar variances with incidental findings of TFC tears in both wrists. This is a rare case, as he had no history of a traumatic event. |
