Schematic representation of the most consistently present wrist ligaments. These drawings do not aim to replicate the exact shape and dimensions of the actual ligaments, nor their frequent anatomic variations. A) Palmar superficial ligaments: (1) radioscaphoid, (2) radioscapho-capitate, (3) long radiolunate, (4) ulnocapitate, (5) scaphocapitate, (6) pisohamate, and (7) flexor retinaculum or transverse carpal ligament. B) Palmar deep ligaments: (8) short radiolunate; (9) ulnolunate; (10) ulnotriquetral; (11) palmar scapholunate; (12) palmar lunotriquetral, (13) triquetral-hamate-capitate, also known as the ulnar limb of the arcuate ligament; (14) dorsolateral scaphotrapezial; and (15) palmar transverse interosseous ligaments of the distal row. C) Dorsal ligaments: (16) radiotriquetral; (17) triquetrum-scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid, also known as the dorsal intercarpal ligament; (18) dorsal scapholunate; (19) dorsal lunotriquetral; and (20) dorsal transverse interosseous ligaments of the distal row.
