Triangular Fibrocartilage: Zooming Out on MRI

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

Let's zoom out of the triangular fibrocartilage.

0:05

We now clearly see the hyaline

0:07

cartilage of the radius and the

0:09

funnel-shaped attachment of the TFC.

0:12

We now clearly see the hyaline cartilage

0:16

and capsule of the lunate, the capsule

0:22

of the ulna with this thin capsular

0:26

dark signal intensity reflection.

0:29

Proximal to that reflection is

0:32

hyaline cartilage lining

0:35

the distal body of the ulna, the foveal attachment

0:40

of the triangular fibrocartilage, which is

0:43

the deep layer of the peripheral aspect of

0:45

the TFCC, known as the ligamentum subcruentum.

0:51

The more distal attachment of the TFC, which

0:53

is rather fan-shaped, and climbs up along the

0:56

styloid, mostly at the base of the styloid.

1:00

The superficial layer of the peripheral

1:03

attachment of the TFCC triangle out here,

1:07

and it receives contributions from the

1:09

dorsal and palmar radioulnar ligaments.
