title: The role of arthroscopy in the treatment of traumatic triangular fibrocartilage injuries.
abstract: The triangular fibrocartilage complex is a complex anatomic structure located at the ulnar aspect of the wrist and is important to the stability and biomechanical function of the ulnar carpus and distal radioulnar joint. This article will review the anatomy and biomechanical function of the TFCC and its relationship to the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic injuries to the TFCC.
