I injured my right wrist TFCC around two months back and the doctor recommended surgery. Can you explain the difference between open surgery and arthroscopy for TFCC repair? I'm a bit nervous about the options and recovery process

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with quicker recovery; open surgery is used for more complex TFCC tears.

my fingers are bending on their own but there's no pain. I'm thinking about getting surgery for this but I'm not sure if it's safe or if there are any risks involved. what should I know before going ahead with it

If your fingers are bending on their own without pain, it could be due to Dupuytren's contracture or trigger finger. Before considering surgery, discuss your concerns with a doctor or specialist to determine the best course of treatment, as non-surgical options are often tried first.
