What is a triangular fibrocartilage complex injury of the wrist?
An injury to the TFCC or triangular fibrocartilage disc is an injury to the 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.
Your physiotherapist would ask you about the mechanism of injury. For example, did you fall on an outstretched arm or was it an injury that occurred while you were using a power tool such as a drill where the drill bit got stuck and the drill torqued your arm and caused a big rotation.
