Comparison of the clinical and functional outcomes of two immobilisation protocols after arthroscopic peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair in adults: a single... by Anil K Bhat, Ashwath Acharya, Deepthi Paraj, Manjula Anil Kunder

“…The surgical approaches to treat TFCC tears are well-established, with arthroscopic or arthroscopic-assisted repair as the preferred method. However, the postoperative rehabilitation protocols significantly vary across different studies, ranging from 2 to 9 weeks, often without sufficient justification.Methods and analysis This research is designed to conduct a randomised controlled trial at a single centre with double-blinding to compare the clinical and functional results of two immobilisation protocols of 3 weeks and 6 weeks, following arthroscopic repair of peripheral TFCC tears (ie, Palmar 1B, 1C and 1D) in adults, considering the phase of ligament healing. …”
