Trapeziotrapezoid Ligament
(Redirected from Trapeziotrapezoidal Interosseous Ligament)
Description
Names
- Trapeziotrapezoid Ligament
- Trapeziotrapezoidal Interosseous Ligament
- Trapezium–Trapezoid Ligament
- Trapezial–Trapezoid Ligament
- Intercarpal Ligament (Trapezium–Trapezoid)
- Ligamentum Trapeziotrapezoideum
General
- Stabilizes the joint between the trapezoid and trapezium
- Component of distal interosseous ligaments of the wrist[2]
- Helps maintain the distal carpal row
Gross Anatomy
- Has volar, dorsal and interosseous components[3]
- Volar/dorsal portion spans entire length of joint edges, covers a large portion of cortex
- Deep/interosseous portion is not well described
MRI Features
- Best viewed on axial and coronal planes with normal orientation
- More easily visualized with MR arthrography[4]
Clinical Significance
- Carpometacarpal instability
- Carpal Instability
