Abstract: The letter responds to a review on triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries, expressing concerns about the challenges in diagnosing and treating TFCC variations due to the prevalence of signal changes and wrist symptoms. The authors emphasize the importance of avoiding unnecessary surgeries and highlight the potential risks of iatrogenic harm. They also discuss the limitations of MRI in diagnosing TFCC abnormalities in older patients and the need for further research in this area. The authors acknowledge the value of non-operative management for TFCC injuries and stress the importance of comprehensive understanding and future studies in addressing these complex conditions.
