Interosseous Intercarpal Ligaments
(Redirected from Interosseous intercarpal ligaments)
Description
-
The scapholunate ligament is C-shaped. Its dorsal (D) component is the strongest (P, proximal; V, volar)[2]
-

-
The lunotriquetral (LT) ligament is tripartite with a dorsal and fibrous section and a central membranous component[4]



Name
- Interosseous Intercarpal Ligaments
- Interosseous Carpal Ligaments
- Carpal Interosseous Ligaments
- Intracarpal Ligaments
General
- Serve to stabilize the carpal bones of the midcarpal joint
Proximal Row
- Span the adjacent sides of the relevant carpal bones
- Separate the joint spaces of the midcarpal joint, radiocarpal joints
- Ligaments
Distal Row
- Ligaments connect the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate
- They have volar, dorsal and interosseous components[6]
