Abstract Objectives  The main objective of this study was to assess the clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic TFCC repair in patients with an isolated Atzei type 1, 2 or 3 lesion or after a distal radius fracture. The secondary objective was to identify which factors could contribute to poor functional outcome. Methods  A retrospective study was conducted from November 2017 to May 2019. The inclusion criteria were patients with an Atzei type 1, 2 or 3 TFCC lesion who underwent arthroscopic repair and with a minimum of 6-month follow-up. Wrist motion, grip and pronation–supination strength were noted. QuickDASH, MMWS and PRWE scores were performed. An analysis was conducted to search for poor outcomes predictive factors (MMWS
