Case Discussion
Ulnar impaction syndrome is a degenerative wrist condition caused by the ulnar head impacting upon the ulnar-sided carpus with the injury to the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC).
The majority of cases occur in association with positive ulnar variance or increased dorsal tilt of the distal radius.
