Arthroscopic repair of peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears results in relief of pain and improvement of distal radioulnar joint stability in patients with ulnar-neutral or ulnar-negative variance. The addition of ulnar shortening can provide improvement in patients with ulnar-positive variance. Full motion and normal strength are expected and complications are rare. The arthroscopic techniques described are relatively easy for the experienced arthroscopist, and results short-term results are favorable.
