“I purchased the Wrist Widget as my research indicated it was designed specifically for my injury, a TFCC, triangular fibrocartilage complex injury. I originally had some comfort issues with the brace materials, contacted the customer service via email and received an immediate response, on a weekend in fact! It was by far the best customer support that I have so far received from any company. Not only was I sent out a replacement brace, I was given some moleskin and gauze with instructions on how to make the brace if needed. The replacement brace was perfect so I did not need the materials. I wore the brace for the recommended amount of time, tested my wrist stability using the test suggested by the company. My wrist healed perfectly. The design of the brace allowed me to continue with restricted movement, rehab my injury without losing any strength or dexterity and return to full activities within 4 weeks. I highly recommend this product.” -Michele Dunsford



Here at WristWidget Aus we are also proud of our customer service ‘even on a weekend’!

Thanks to our friends Hand Therapy Academy] for this excellent post on the weight bearing test for TFCC injuries and ulnar sided wrist pain 👏🏼✊🏻🙌🏻 Hand Therapy Academy]
・・・
TFCC Testing 💪🖐
The wrist weight bearing test is a great way to test for a TFCC tear or injury by measuring how much weight you are able to tolerate through the wrist and hand.
Wrist Weight-Bearing Test: The individual is in a quadruped position while they place their palm on an analogue scale. The elbow is in full extension over the wrist with the long finger at 12 o’clock to prevent radial or ulnar rotation. They then push down on the scale until pain is felt at the ulnar side of wrist but not exceeding pain or until maximum amount of pressure is reached. The average of three trials are taken and testing is done to the affected and non-affected sides with and without non elastic tape/WristWidget.
Injured wrist test results with non elastic tape/WristWidget:
0-45 lbs or 0-20 kg = severe TFCC tear
45-65 lbs or 20-29 kg = moderate TFCC tear
65-100 lbs or 29-45 kg = mild TFCC tear

…Patients who have a TFCC tear often develop symptoms in their ECU. When the TFCC is treated, the ECU symptoms resolve. There are also many cases that have been diagnosed as a TFCC injury which are only an ECU issue.

The ECU subsheath is critical for extensor carpi ulnaris tendon stability and part of the triangular fibrocartilage complex which is why an MRI may show tendonitis, a tear, or TFCC tear and is often misdiagnosed.

When the TFCC is involved, the ECU takes a sharper turn because the DRUJ spreads in TFCC injuries. This causes a common secondary complication to the ECU. Normal range for ulnar deviation is 30-40 degrees.

How do I know the difference? Start with the weight bearing test! If your weight bearing tolerance is normal, then the TFCC is fine and you want to look at the ECU.

ECU ONLY
-No pain on weight-bearing
-Healthy and injured wrist test the same on the Weight Bearing Test
-Wrist aches after wearing the WristWidget®
-Clicking or popping and pain at ECU insertion
-The WristWidget® will NOT be helpful in recovery

TFCC ONLY
-Pain on Weight Bearing
-Injured wrist tests lower than healthy wrist on the Weight Bearing Test
-Injured wrist tests higher with WristWidget®/taping than without
-The WristWidget® will be helpful in recovery

TFCC-ECU COMBO INJURY:
-You know you have a TFCC tear when there is a loss of weight-bearing tolerance and an immediate increase with tape or the WristWidget®.
-You know that the ECU is involved if you have pain to touch at the insertion of the ECU at the back of the hand when the wrist deviates towards the ulna (ulnar deviation).
