Pearls in transosseous repair of TFCC.

Pearls in trans-osseous repair
Avoid making the bony tunnel too vertical as it may cause suture to pass to ulnarly.

Keeping the forearm in neutral rotation while drilling helps in aiming the mid-portion of the ulnar head
To prevent laceration of suture from the needle, the needle is withdrawn prior to pulling the suture
