Mentorship Session: OT Treatment for the triangular fibrocartilage conplex (TFCC)

Join experienced Occupational Therapist Trish Griffiths for an insightful mentorship session diving deep into the rehabilitation of TFCC (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex) injuries—an area often overlooked or misdiagnosed in clinical practice.

This session will cover:

• The prevalence of undiagnosed wrist ligament injuries and why we need to be more wrist-aware in our assessments
• A practical explanation of proprioception—what it is, how it works, and why it’s vital in wrist rehab
• An insider’s look at wrist arthroscopy, including real visuals of synovitis, helping you understand what’s really going on inside the joint
• A review of key TFCC literature, highlighting evidence-based approaches and emerging insights
• Results from a survey on surgeons’ preferences regarding splint choice and how much forearm rotation is safe post-TFCC repair
• Findings from a small independent study on how much movement commonly used below-elbow splints actually allow
• A breakdown of general wrist rehab stages
• And finally, guidance on TFCC-specific ligament rehab

Whether you’re managing post-operative cases or working with clients experiencing chronic wrist pain, this session will deepen your clinical reasoning and expand your toolkit for treating complex wrist conditions. A must-attend for OTs wanting to sharpen their skills in upper limb rehabilitation.
