Type 2 diabetes is a growing health problem, largely in part to the continued rise in obesity. It is not unique to adults and is becoming more of a concern for children and teenagers. Type 2 diabetes is when the pancreas in the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body cannot effectively use the insulin. The usual solutions, depending on severity, are anything from diet control, to insulin stimulating drugs or a combination of both drugs and insulin to be taken.
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a cartilage structure located on the small finger side of the wrist that, cushions and supports the small carpal bones in the wrist. The TFCC keeps the forearm bones (radius and ulna) stable when the hand grasps or the forearm rotates.
The DRUJ is the part of the wrist joint that lies between the two bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) and allows forearm rotation. The TFCC also functions as a shock-absorber for the wrist, like a meniscus in the knee. The TFCC may be injured by a fall, sports injury, car crash, or other trauma.
