Q:

How are burns treated?

A:

The treatment for burns depends on how severe the burn is. In a first degree (minor) burn, you should try and cool the skin right away, like by placing it under cold water. If you are having pain with your burn, you may benefit from some pain relief medication or from antibiotic cream for the burn site. For more serious burns that send you to the hospital, not only will the treatment involve treating the skin affected and providing pain relief, but will also look for any complications as these serious burns can involve the tissues or organs under the skin at the burn site.

Q:

What is a Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injury of the Wrist?

A:

An injury to the TFCC or triangular fibrocartilage disc is an injury to this part of your wrist at the end of the ulna, which is this bone running up from your elbow to your wrist. The disc is a very strong ligament and cartilage type structure that sits between your ulna and your wrist bones. The function of this disc is to stabilize this joint and allow it to rotate and move freely.
