The triangular fibrocartilage disc (TFC) is an articular discus that lies on the pole of the distal ulna. It has a triangular shape and a biconcave body; the periphery is thicker than its center. It has a triangular shape and a biconcave body; the periphery is thicker than its center.
If hyaline cartilage is torn all the way down to the bone, the blood supply from inside the bone is sometimes enough to start some healing inside the lesion. In cases like this, the body will form a scar in the area using a special type of cartilage called fibrocartilage. [2]

Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury occurs in 39% to 82% of cases. Ulnar styloid process fracture increases the risk of TFCC injury by a factor of 5:1. However, it is unclear whether intercarpal ligaments and triangular fibrocartilage injuries are associated with long term pain and disability for those who are affected. [5]
The articular disc (or disk) is a thin, oval plate of fibrocartilage present in several joints which separates synovial cavities. This separation of the cavity space allows for separate movements to occur in each space.
Instead, it is connected to and articulates with the ulna through the Triangular fibrocartilage disc [1] and ligament, which forms part of the ulnocarpal joint capsule. [2] It connects with the pisiform, hamate, and lunate bones. It is the 2nd most commonly fractured carpal bone.
The cubital fossa, antecubital fossa, chelidon, inside of elbow, or, humorously, wagina, [1] is the area on the anterior side of the upper part between the arm and forearm of a human or other hominid animals.
In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).
