LABRAL TEAR A tear in the fibrocartilage between the head of the femur and the acetabulum, or socket. Part 6, "Wrist and Distal Radial Ulnar Joint," addresses tendinopathies, carpal fractures and instabilities, triangular fibrocartilage injuries, external and internal fixation of distal radius fractures, ulnar head resection, proximal row carpectomy, arthroscopy, wrist arthroplasty, and arthrodesis. Consistent with our radiographic findings, histologic analysis revealed no remarkable differences at 7 and 21 days because all fracture sites consisted of undifferentiated mesenchyme and fibrocartilage at the early time point and remodeling bone at the latter time point (Figure 3). |
