Popis:	Purpose: To assess the results of an arthroscopic repair for traumatic peripheral tears of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC, Palmer type Ib). Materials and Methods: 10 patients with traumatic peripheral TFCC tear were treated with outside-in technique with arthroscope and evaluated with an average follow-up of 19 months (range, 15 to 28 months). The clinical outcomes were assessed with investigation of pain, range of motion, grip strength, return to job and patient's satisfaction. Results: The arthroscopic repair of traumatic peripheral TFCC tear resulted in significant pain relief and increase in functional ability of wrist, that is, 8 excellent, 1 good and 1 fair results. At last follow-up, the average of flexion was 79 (range 76∼86), average of extension was 78° (range 70∼84), average pronation was 85 (range 75∼91) and average supination was 87 (range 79∼92). Nine patients except one were back to their original job. Conclusion: Arthroscopic repair of traumatic peripheral TFCC tear could be used for pain relief and increase in functional ability of wrist.
