[Lesions of the wrist disc. Pathology, diagnosis and treatment]

[Article in German]

Abstract

Lesions of the TFCC are currently a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Disc-injuries are often not identified and, therefore, acute ruptures are unfortunately not always immediately repaired. Moreover, therapeutic measures are still sparse and informative trial results are lacking. An anatomical, pathological, diagnostic and therapeutic comparison with the meniscus of the knee is possible.
