How To Treat Tear In The Tfcc In The Wrist?

I have a tear in my tfcc in my left wrist. I want to do everything to avoid surgery and am currently giving Prolotherapy a try with some success. I still have pain when twisting and picking up heavy items. Anything for this on the horizon for dealing with an injury like this ? Platelet Rich Plasma maybe??? I want to play golf professionally in the near future... Blessings - Steve

Hello,

If you are symptomatic and if the tear is complete one surgical correction will be a better choice. Consult an orthopedic and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
