You have been thinking a lot lately about what you are going to do with the rest of your life. And as you considered various careers, health care has sounded like a good choice. And why not become a respiratory therapist? The demand for respiratory therapists has never been higher, so job stability is excellent.
The Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is formed by the triangular fibrocartilage disc (TFC), the radioulnar ligaments (RULs) and the ulnocarpal ligaments (UCLs). Anatomy of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Disc (TFC): The TFC is a trianguar, biconcave (concave on both sides and thicker along its periphery) articular disc that sits at the distal ulna, between the ulna and the carpals.
TFCC tears do not always occur as a result of a trauma and may occur as a result of degenerative changes in the wrist. A degenerative tear may occur as a result of âulnocarpal impaction syndromeâ â when the end of the ulnar chronically âimpactsâ on the TFCC and the 2 wrist bones it connects with (lunate and triquetrum).
