That’s so nonspecific it isn’t useful information.

I’ve seen two different orthopedists report two different tears; a scapholunare tear and a TFCC tear. But, I haven’t seen anything official.

I’m no expert, but I did have a nasty wrist injury. in addition to the extreme ligament strain I had (luckily not torn), there was a high degree of uncertainty for me as the bones looked to have shifted.

For Joe, beyond just the ligament, they need to ensure that all the bones are in place. It’s like a jigsaw puzzle.

The biggest reason I kept agreeing to go down the path for myself was the real fear that your wrist will continue to deteriorate over time. Eventually 5, 10, 20, ?? Years later the consequences will show up. FWIW, it’s been 11 months for me and I still don’t have full strength and mobility. I can do all exercises, at full strength, with a neutral grip. A pronated grip causes me fits still. Not during the exercise, but the following days is brutal.

Good for Joe, he will have his pick of the litter as far as who he uses. Unlucky for Joe, he has to have the surgery.
