  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. Joints of hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joints_of_hand

    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. 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. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    Joints of the hand, X-ray. The bones in each carpal row interlock with each other and each row can therefore be considered a single joint. In the proximal row a limited degree of mobility is possible, but the bones of the distal row are connected to each other and to the metacarpal bones by strong ligaments that make this row and the metacarpus a functional entity.

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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 .

  9. Radial collateral ligament of wrist joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_collateral_ligament...

    The radial collateral ligament (external lateral ligament, radial carpal collateral ligament) extends from the tip of the styloid process of the radius and attaches to the radial side of the scaphoid (formerly navicular bone of the hand), immediately adjacent to its proximal articular surface and some fibres extend to the lateral side of the trapezium (greater multangular bone).
