How is carpal tunnel syndrome related to TFCC?
It would not be directly related to CTS. TFCC is a tear of cartilage/ligament structure on top of your wrist area.

Perhaps if you had trauma to your wrist causing a TFCC tear or wrist fracture etc...this may cause swelling, inflammation of the carpal tunnel area which could put pressure on the median nerve..eventually causing CTS.
