Lesions of the TFCC are currently a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Disc-injuries are often not identified and, therefore, acute ruptures are unfortunately not always immediately repaired. Moreover, therapeutic measures are still sparse and informative trial results are lacking. An anatomical, pathological, diagnostic and therapeutic comparison with the meniscus of the knee is possible.
Tracheomalacia is a rare condition characterised by collapse of the trachea during respiration. The condition is seen most often in infants and young children. Mild cases can be managed expectantly; however, severe cases can be associated with life-threatening cyanotic attacks and intervention to stabilise the airway is invariably necessary. Most commonly this involves an aortopexy to suspend the anterior wall of the trachea but other options include endoluminal or extraluminal stenting, long-term positive pressure ventilation and tracheostomy. Although tracheomalacia resolves spontaneously in most infants within the first few years of life, severe tracheomalacia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality that should not be underestimated.
