Alternative treatment for degenerative TFCC injuries with DRUJ instability

Treatment of ulnar impaction syndrome combined with distal radioulnar joint instability due to irreparable degenerative triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries can be complex. We describe the outcomes of a novel technique for restoring distal radioulnar stability in patients with degenerative TFCC due to ulnar impaction syndrome using a longitundinal extensor carpi ulnaris tendon strip combined with ulnar shortening osteotomy in 48 patients
