Effect of Wristcraft Rehab in Traumatic Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Repair – A Case Report

Introduction- Triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries are common in amateur and professional sports. (2) The function of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex is to act as a stabilizer for the ulnar aspect of the wrist. (3) It can resist both loading and tensive forces. Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex injuries are mainly caused by acute or chronic repetitive axial loads on the wrist, particularly on the ulnar side and in association with rotations or radial/ulnar deviations. (1)  Aim Aim of the study was To Find Effect of Structured Rehabilitation Program in patient with Traumatic Triangular Fibrocartilage Repair.  Method- After Ethical Approval from IEC the reported case of a 31-year-old male with post operative Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Repair, with no other significant medical history was selected. Examination was carried out for pain with NUMERICAL PAIN RATING SCALE, Range of Motion with Goniometer, grip strength with hand – held dynamometer and functional outcome with Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) at week 0. Intervention- A structured rehabilitation program was made for 8 weeks. Sessions were followed for 5 days / week.  Result- Significant changes in pain, range of motion, grip strength and PRWE indicated progressive improvement in physical function.  Conclusion: Based on our study we conclude after 8 weeks of wristcraft rehab protocol patient showed significant decrease in pain, increase mobility, and functional outcomes in patient with Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex repair.
