Retracted PublicationPrognostic factors for the outcome of arthroscopic capsular repair of peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears.
Little information is available about prognostic factors of arthroscopic capsular repair for peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that affect the treatment outcomes of arthroscopic capsular repair for peripheral TFCC tears. ⋯ Female gender, a longer duration of symptom, and a negative DRUJ stress test are associated with a higher likelihood of treatment failure after arthroscopic outside-in capsular repair of peripheral TFCC tears.
