Abstract

Injuries to the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) can lead to instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). In fact, they are the most frequent cause of it. But, in other cases, depending on the type of injury, the DRUJ remains stable. This will condition different types of treatments, from conservative management to the different options of surgical treatment. Since a controversy persists regarding the management of these lesions, our purpose is to disclose the foundations of the rehabilitation treatment and propose an algorithm of treatment according to the different types of injuries and their repairs.Las lesiones del complejo del fibrocartílago triangular (CFCT) pueden provocar una inestabilidad de la articulación radiocubital distal (ARCD). De hecho, son la causa más frecuente de ésta. Pero, en otras ocasiones, según el tipo de lesión, la ARCD se mantiene estable. Esto va a condicionar distintos tipos de tratamientos, desde el conservador hasta distintas opciones de intervenciones quirúrgicas. Dado que persiste la controversia en cuanto al manejo de estas lesiones, nuestro propósito es exponer las bases del tratamiento rehabilitador y proponer un algoritmo de tratamiento según los distintos tipos de lesiones y sus reparaciones.
