Could pain on the little-finger side of the wrist be a TFCC injury?

Doctor’s answer

Yes. The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lies on the ulnar side of the wrist and can be injured by a fall onto the hand, racquet sport, lifting, or repeated wrist rotation. Common symptoms include ulnar-sided pain, pain with rotation or pushing up from a chair, clicking, and reduced grip strength. Tendon disorders and occult fractures can cause similar symptoms.
