Patients report pain in the ulnar region of their wrist, also the area opposite of the thumb. TFCC debridement may be necessary after years of wear and tear, both normal and improper loading and techniques. Individual differences in anatomy where the ulna is longer than the radius predispose the TFCC to tearing as the region experiences greater stress. Patients also report having catching, clicking and/or snapping sensations, stiffness, and/or swelling. The TFCC may tear after excessive force is applied to the pinky/ulnar aspect of the hand. Radius fractures occur simultaneously with these injuries to the ulnar region of the wrist. Those who have had traumatic falls or involved in sports like gymnastics and tennis are at an increased risk of damaging their TFCC. Patients may be TFCC debridement candidates if they did not respond positively to non-surgical treatment options like wearing a splint to immobilize the wrist joint region, physical therapy and cortisone injections.
