The palmar plate moves in three phases during joint flexion. First, it slides back toward the hand. Next, it is lifted away from the proximal phalanx by the A3 pulley. Last, a lip on the middle phalanx rolls into a recess on the plate. If the A3 pulley is not intact, the normal three phases of motion do not occur and instead the plate crumples. [7]

The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. The intrinsic group are the smaller muscles located within the hand itself. The muscles of the hand are innervated by the radial, median, and ulnar nerves from the brachial plexus. [1]
The deep transverse metacarpal ligament is a narrow fibrous band. It blends with the palmar metacarpophalangeal ligaments. Its palmar surface is concave where the flexor tendons pass over it. Behind [clarification needed] it, the tendons of the interosseous muscles of the hand pass to their insertions. [citation needed]
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 .

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. [1]: 215
The metacarpal bones are connected together by dorsal, palmar, and interosseous ligaments. The dorsal metacarpal ligaments (ligamenta metacarpalia dorsalia) and palmar metacarpal ligaments (ligamenta metacarpalia palmaria) pass transversely from one bone to another on the dorsal and palmar surfaces.
