TFCC Tears, Ulnar Impaction Syndrome and Essex-Lopresty Injuries

We will now discuss more specifics on some special circumstances including ulnar-styler infractures, TFCC tears, ulnar impaction syndrome, Essex-lopresty injuries and galliazzi fractures. The etiology of TFCC tears relates to a mechanism of injury with the wrist and extension in the forearm in pronation. Ulnar-impaction syndrome is due to radial-shortening which leads to positive ulnar variants and altered biomechanics. Type 2 injuries are subclassified into Type 2A through E injuries.
