A member asked:
Can somebody grabbing & pulling at your wrist/arm cause a partial tear in the tfcc ligament? is it possible to partially tear that ligament by lifting a super heavy suitcase with one arm?

While someonoe grabbing and pulling on your wrist is an unlikely cause of a pratial TFCC tear, its not impossible. Lifting a “super heavy” suitcase could definitely cause an injury to the TFCC. It all depends on the position of the wrist and the amount of force applied.
