Abstract

We describe the case of a dorsal proximal triquetral impingement caused by a torn triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) amassed on the repair site at the ulnar styloid. The impinging tissue was removed by simple burring with resultant relief of symptoms. This case illustrates painful impingement of soft tissue on the triquetrum. Possibly, the source of tissue impingement may include different extra-articular or torn intra-articular structures. Soft tissue impingement on the triquetrum may be a cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain following failed TFCC repair.
