   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this tear may follow a fall, a twist, or wear over time.
   • I understand that the TFCC helps keep my wrist steady as my forearm turns.
   • I avoid forceful gripping, heavy lifting, and twisting that strain my sore wrist.
   • I avoid push-ups and pushing out of a chair with this hand while my wrist needs protection.
