Are You a Regenexx Candidate?The Regenexx Approach For TFCC Tears
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) plays an important role in supporting wrist stability and thumb movement. Wear, degeneration, or injury in this area may contribute to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
In chronic cases, typical management may include surgical procedures such as shortening the ulna—the forearm bone that connects to the wrist—to help reduce joint pressure. Some studies suggest that this approach may increase mechanical stress within the wrist and may be associated with a risk of complications or additional injuries. Research also notes that some patients may experience postoperative difficulties following this type of procedure.
As an alternative, procedures using Regenexx injectates are available from physicians in the licensed Regenexx network, at Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute, offering a less invasive option. During these outpatient procedures, physicians use image guidance to precisely inject customized concentrations of the patient’s own healing agents directly into the TFCC area.
This approach may help reduce pain and may support improved wrist function. This treatment option typically requires less downtime compared to surgery.
