What is a TFCC injury?
Pain on the ulnar (pinky) side of the wrist is often related to irritation or injury of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) — a small but essential stabilizing structure on the ulnar side of the wrist.
The TFCC supports the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and plays a key role in wrist rotation, load transfer, and weight bearing during daily activities and sports.
When the TFCC becomes irritated or partially torn, common symptoms include:
-
Pain when pushing up from a chair
-
Discomfort during weight bearing
-
Clicking or instability with rotation
-
Reduced grip strength
-
Persistent ulnar wrist pain without fracture
Many TFCC injuries can be treated conservatively, especially when the joint is properly stabilized and protected while allowing functional movement.
Early, targeted support can help reduce strain on the injured structure while maintaining mobility.
How does WristWidget® support a TFCC injury?
WristWidget® is designed to stabilize the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) without restricting overall wrist mobility.
By compressing the distal ulna toward the radius, it reduces strain on the injured TFCC during rotation and weight bearing.
Unlike rigid braces, WristWidget® allows functional movement while providing targeted support to the injured structure.
This makes it suitable for:
-
Daily activities
-
Rehabilitation
-
Sports participation
-
Load-bearing tasks
Trusted by hand therapists across Europe
WristWidget® is used by clinicians, certified hand therapists and sports professionals throughout Europe as a conservative, non-surgical support solution for TFCC injuries and ulnar wrist pain.

TFCC Injury – Frequently Asked Questions
Ulnar-sided wrist pain is often related to irritation or injury of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC). The TFCC stabilizes the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and absorbs load during rotation and weight bearing. Pain may occur after a fall, repetitive loading, sport, or gradual overuse.
Many TFCC injuries can improve with conservative treatment. When the distal radioulnar joint is properly stabilized, painful shear forces are reduced and daily function can often continue during recovery. Surgery is typically considered only when symptoms persist despite conservative care.
WristWidget® is used when stabilization of the distal radioulnar joint is required during daily activities, work, or sport. It is designed to support recovery without rigid immobilization, allowing functional movement while reducing load on the TFCC.
