There is a tear of the triangular fibrocartilage complex near the radial attachment. Perforation of the scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments is noted. Fixation hardware is stable without evidence of complication.
Case Discussion
The tear of the of radial-most aspect of the TFC as it attaches to the articular cartilage of the distal radius is consistent with a Palmer 1D tear.
