What can you tell me about TFCC rehabilitation?

Answer by  kimberlyann586 (46)

Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex is torn cartilage in the wrist. This could be severe enough to require surgery but there are other methods of treatment. Ice could be applied 3-4 times daily along with taking over the counter ibuprofen. The doctor may also recommend that you exercise the wrist periodically. Casts may also be recommended.

This refers to the various treatments to fix torn cartilage, usually in the wrist. Ice packs and inflammtory drugs can usually repair the problem. If it is a very serious tear, however, you can expect that the doctor will recommend surgery to repair the cartilage. This will require that you wear an arm brace or cast for several weeks.
