Ultra-Thin TFCC Sports Wrist Sleeve are specifically designed for tendon sheath injuries and strains, which provides additional stability and support to the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex, preventing the spread of the radius and ulna bones, reducing the burden on the wrist joint. It helps athletes protect their TFCC, preventing issues such as wrist weakness, difficulty with rotation, loss of grip strength, or wrist popping. Additionally, it promotes wound healing and facilitates rehabilitation.
 
【What is TFCC?】
TFCC (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex) refers to a group of vital structures on the ulnar side of the wrist joint, including the articular disc, volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments, ulnar-sided extensor carpi ulnaris sheath, ulnar collateral ligament, and ulnolunate and ulnotriquetral ligaments. It consists of two layers, deep and superficial, converging to form a united tendon that attaches to the base of the ulnar styloid process. TFCC connects the forearm bones to the wrist bones and is the most crucial ligament for wrist stability. It is located deep within the wrist and has a highly complex structure, making self-healing difficult once injured. Wearing a TFCC wrist brace helps cushion and support the wrist bones, aiding in forearm stability. With the assistance of TFCC, individuals can rotate their wrists and grasp objects firmly.
 
【Types of TFCC Injuries】
Traumatic Injury: Typically caused by using the palm to break a fall, excessive rotation of the arm, or direct impact to the wrist. Athletes, especially those involved in sports that exert pressure on the wrist such as tennis, golf, yoga, or dance, are at a higher risk of TFCC injury.
Degenerative Injury: Occurs as a result of cartilage wear and tear with age. The tissues that make up the TFCC break down and become thinner as one gets older. This degeneration makes the TFCC more prone to tearing.
