  2. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    The joints of the proximal row are arthrodial joints, The scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum are connected by dorsal, volar, and interosseous ligaments.. The dorsal intercarpal ligament are two in number and placed transversely behind the bones of the first row; they connect the scaphoid and lunate, and the lunate and triquetrum.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joints_of_hand

    The joints are: In the wrist there is the radiocarpal joint between the radius and carpus. Between the carpal bones are the intercarpal articulations and the midcarpal joint. The carpometacarpal joint connects the carpal bones to the metacarpus or metacarpal bones which are joined at the intermetacarpal articulations.

  4. Dorsal intercarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    The dorsal intercarpal ligament consists of a series of fibrous bands that extend transversely across the dorsal surfaces of the carpal bones, connecting them to each other. v t

  5. Wrist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist

    In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; [1] [2] (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus [2] and; (3) the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of ...

  6. Carpal bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_bones

    In tetrapods, the carpus is the sole cluster of bones in the wrist between the radius and ulna and the metacarpus. The bones of the carpus do not belong to individual fingers (or toes in quadrupeds), whereas those of the metacarpus do. The corresponding part of the foot is the tarsus. The carpal bones allow the wrist to move and rotate ...

    The interosseous intercarpal ligaments are short fibrous bands that connect the adjacent surfaces of the various carpal bones This ...

  8. Scapholunate ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapholunate_ligament

    The scapholunate ligament is an intraarticular ligament binding the scaphoid and lunate bones of the wrist together. It is divided into three areas, dorsal, proximal and palmar, with the dorsal segment being the strongest part. [3] It is the main stabilizer of the scaphoid. In contrast to the scapholunate ligament, the lunotriquetral ligament ...

  9. Palmar intercarpal ligaments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_intercarpal_ligaments

    The palmar intercarpal ligaments are fibrous bands that extend transversely across the palmar surfaces of the carpal bones, connecting adjacent carpals. These are the ligaments that define the structure of the ligamentous palmar arch .
