  2. Palmar radiocarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_radiocarpal_ligament

    The palmar radiocarpal ligament (anterior ligament, volar radiocarpal ligament) is a broad membranous band, attached above to the distal end of the radius, and passing downward to the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum and capitate of the carpal bones in the wrist.

  3. Palmar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_plate

    In contrast to the volar plates of the MCP joints of the fingers, the volar plate of the thumb MCP joint is a thick structure firmly attached to the base of the proximal phalanx. It forms the bottom of a two-sided box, the sides of which are made up of the collateral ligaments .

  4. Palmar carpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_carpal_ligament

    The palmar carpal ligament (also volar carpal ligament or Guyon's Tunnel) is a thickened portion of antebrachial fascia on anterior/palmar side of the wrist which - together with the flexor retinaculum of the hand - retains the tendons of most of the flexor muscles of the hand.

  5. Palmar carpometacarpal ligaments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_carpometacarpal...

    The palmar carpometacarpal ligaments (or volar) are a series of bands on the palmar surface of the carpometacarpal joints that connect the carpal bones to the second through fifth metacarpal bones. The second metacarpal is connected to the trapezium. The third metacarpal is connected to the trapezium, to the capitate, and to the hamate. The ...

  6. Plantar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_plate

    In the human foot, the plantar or volar plates (also called plantar or volar ligaments) are fibrocartilaginous structures found in the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints. The anatomy and composition of the plantar plates are similar to the palmar plates in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints in the ...

  7. Interphalangeal joints of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphalangeal_joints_of...

    Palmar aspect. Palmar ligament labelled as volar ligament. The palmar ligament is thinner and more flexible in its central-proximal part. On both sides it is reinforced by the so-called check rein ligaments. The accessory collateral ligaments (ACL) originate at the proximal phalanx and are inserted distally at the base of the middle phalanx ...

  8. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    The volar ligaments are also three and have a similar arrangement on the volar surface. The three interosseous ligaments are much thicker than those of the first row; one is placed between the capitate and the hamate, a second between the capitate and the lesser multangular, and a third between the greater and lesser multangulars.

  9. Collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_ligaments_of...

    The collateral ligaments originate on depressions on each side of the metacarpal heads dorsal to axis of rotation. From there, they extend obliquely and distally to their insertions onto tubercles at the base of the proximal phalanx. The accessory collateral ligaments originate volar to the collateral ligaments and are inserted on the palmar ...
