Fig. 2. Longitudinal sonogram of normal triangular fibrocartilage in
32-year-old healthy male volunteer. Striated appearance of extensor carpi
ulnaris tendon (curved solid arrows) is readily apparent. This tendon
acts as acoustic window. Homogeneous, hyperechoic triangular fibrocartilage is
outlined by straight solid arrows and lies between distal ulna (straight
open arrow) and triquetral bones (curved open arrow). Deep
radial portion of ligament is poorly visualized, a limitation of this
technique.
