Abstract
We have recently experienced a case of solitary traumatic tear of the TFC which was diagnosed with the evident history of trauma, positive physical and arthrographic findings. Although the treatment is controversial for this problem, this case was treated with the excision of the torn TFC flap. Up to 13 months postoperative follow up, the patient is free of complains.
