The imaging of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is being due to the possibility of arthroscopic treatment increasingly concerned over by surgeons. This rather complicated complex of fibrocartilage tissue has the great importance for the overall wrist stability and its affection is moreover associated with the pain of the ulnar side of the wrist. In the current paper, authors discuss possibilities of TFCC imaging.
