After a twisting injury to my wrist, I have pain and sometimes a “click” on the small finger side of my wrist when I rotate it. What is wrong?
One of the more common injuries on that side of the wrist is a TFCC tear. This structure, the triangular fibrocartilage complex, is a tough fibrous tissue sling that transmits force from the wrist to the forearm and helps stabilize the two forearm bones. A thorough examination is required to make the diagnosis, and treatment options include bracing, casting, cortisone shots, and sometimes an arthroscopic surgery to shave down or repair the tear.
