Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)
ANATOMY The TFCC is a fibrocartilage-ligament complex which stabilizes the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), transmits axial load between the carpus and the ulna, and stabilizes the ulnar aspect of the carpus. The TFCC is comprised of the disc proper (articular disc), meniscus homologue, ulnolunate ligament, ulnotriquetral ligament, proximal ligamentous component, volar and dorsal radioulnar liga...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution 3T MR Imaging of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex
This study is intended as a review of 3Tesla (T) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). The recent advances in MR imaging, which includes high field strength magnets, multi-channel coils, and isotropic 3-dimensional (3D) sequences have enabled the visualization of precise TFCC anatomy with high spatial and contrast resolution. In addition to the routine...
متن کاملHigh-resolution MRI of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) at 3T: comparison of surface coil and volume coil.
PURPOSE To evaluate high-resolution MRI of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) at 3T using a surface coil (SC) or volume coil (VC). MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI was obtained from nine volunteers in the supine position with a 3-inch SC and in prone position with a transmit-receiver wrist VC at 3 T. Coronal two-dimensional-gradient echo (2D-GRE) images (TR/TE/FA = 500 msec/15 msec/40 degr...
متن کاملHigh-resolution 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex in Chinese Wrists: Correlation with Cross-sectional Anatomy
BACKGROUND The injury of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a common cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. The aim of this study was to investigate if the high-resolution 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could demonstrate the detailed complex anatomy of TFCC in Chinese. METHODS Fourteen Chinese cadaveric wrists (from four men and three women; age range at death from 30 to 60 years;...
متن کاملWrist Imaging: Ligaments and Triangular Fibrocartilage
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR arthrography are both effective means to evaluate the instrinsic and extrinsic ligaments of the wrist, as well as the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) [1-6]. High resolution detail of the wrist can be achieved with a variety of magnet strengths, with 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3T being the most commonly utilized in current practice. Dedicated wrist coils are critic...
