  2. Dorsal radiocarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_radiocarpal_ligament

    The dorsal radiocarpal ligament (posterior ligament) is less thick and strong than its volar counterpart, and has a proximal attachment to the posterior border of the distal radius. Its fibers run medially and inferiorly to form a distal attachment at the dorsal surfaces of the scaphoid (navicular bone of the hand), lunate, and triquetral.

    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. The palmar intercarpal ligaments are also two, connect the scaphoid and lunate, and the lunate and triangular; they are less strong than the dorsal, and placed very ...

    There are four groups of ligaments in the region of the wrist: [8] The ligaments of the wrist proper which unite the ulna and radius with the carpus: the ulnar and radial collateral ligaments; the palmar and dorsal radiocarpal ligaments; and the palmar ulnocarpal ligament. (Shown in blue in the figure.)

  6. 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

  7. Radius (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_(bone)

    This end of the bone has three non-articular surfaces – volar, dorsal, and lateral. The volar surface, rough and irregular, affords attachment to the volar radiocarpal ligament. The dorsal surface is convex, affords attachment to the dorsal radiocarpal ligament, and is marked by three grooves. Enumerated from the lateral side:

  8. Dorsal ligament - Wikipedia

    Dorsal ligament can refer to: Dorsal radioulnar ligament; Dorsal radiocarpal ligament; Dorsal cuboideonavicular ligament; Dorsal intercarpal ligament; Dorsal intercuneiform ligaments; Dorsal tarsometatarsal ligaments; Dorsal metatarsal ligaments

  9. Triangular fibrocartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_fibrocartilage

    During supination, the superficial palmar and the deep dorsal ligaments are tightened, [citation needed] preventing palmar translation of the ulna. In pronation, this is reversed: the superficial dorsal and the deep palmar ligaments are tightened and prevent dorsal translation of the ulna. [citation needed]
