The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a load-bearing structure between the lunate, triquetrum, and ulnar head. The function of the TFCC is to act as a stabilizer for the ulnar aspect of the wrist. The TFCC is at risk for either acute or chronic degenerative injury.
Other articular cartilage disorders, right wrist The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M24. 131 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M24.
Your TFCC consists of ligaments and cartilage. It attaches your forearm bones (ulna and radius) to each other and to the small bones of your wrist. Your TFCC helps stabilize, support and cushion your wrist.
The central component of the TFCC is a triangular fibrocartilage (Figure 1). The ulnar side is broader while the dorsal and volar sides are thicker, giving it a bowtie appearance on sagittal view.
Summary. Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) Surgery is a procedure that repairs parts of the triangular fibrocartilage complex that has been damaged or injured. The TFCC is triangular in shape and made up of several ligaments and cartilage and helps to stabilise the wrist joint.
ICD-10 | Pain in right wrist (M25. 531)
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a network of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage that sits between the ulna and radius bones on the small finger side of the wrist. The TFCC stabilizes and cushions the wrist, particularly when a person rotates their hand or grasps something with it.
Mild injuries to the TFCC are generally classified as a wrist sprain, but tears and severe damage to the TFCC can lead to major problems with the function of the wrist. TFCC tears tend to be more common in people over the age of 50.
The Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex is the ligamentous and cartilaginous structures that separate the radiocarpal from the distal radioulnar joint. The TFCC consists of an articular disc, meniscus homologue, ulnocarpal ligament, dorsal & volar radioulnar ligament and extensor carpi ulnaris sheath.
Triangular fibrocartilage tear syndrome, also known as triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesion, is caused by trauma or degenerative changes to the wrist.
TFCC tears are often diagnosed using the fovea test, also called the ulnar fovea sign. To do this, your doctor will apply pressure to the outside of your wrist and ask if you feel any pain or tenderness. They'll do the same to your unaffected wrist for comparison.

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a band of cartilage that cushions the area in the wrist where the ulna, lunate, and triquetrum intersect. The TFCC suspends the distal radius and ulnocarpal joints from the distal ulna.
Damage to the TFCC is often caused by: A fall on an outstretched hand; A drill-bit injury where the wrist rotates rather than the bit; A distraction force onto the volar forearm or wrist; or. A sequela of a distal radius fracture. Excessive load on the ulnocarpal joint can cause a TFCC tear.
