Abstract:
Traditional open repair of traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears requires a relatively extensive exposure, and arthroscopic repair, though conceptually simple, can be technically demanding. We describe a mini-open suture anchor technique that, while minimally invasive, is easier to perform than previously described open or arthroscopic techniques. Results achieved using this technique in eight cases compare favourably with those reported for other techniques.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
