title: A study of age-related changes of the articular disc of the wrist in Hong Kong Chinese.
abstract: A cadaveric study of age-related changes in the triangular fibrocartilage of the wrist in Hong Kong Chinese confirms the high incidence of tears with increasing age. There appears to be two distinct types, linear and degenerate, with no clear evidence that the former is simply a precursor of the latter.
