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.
The TFCC is the major ligamentous stabilizer of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and the ulnar carpus. 1  Triangular fibrocartilage complex suspends distal radius and ulnar carpus from distal ulna. T=triquetrum; L=lunate; S=scaphoid.
