Axial Anatomy: Extrinsic Ligaments

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

Wrist anatomy, palmar or anterior,

0:04

or ventral, or volar extrinsics.

0:08

Not everybody's favorite subject.

0:11

For this, I need a coronal projection that shows

0:14

the radioscaphocapitate ligament, a volar ligament

0:18

that prevents rotatory displacement of the scaphoid.

0:22

It goes from the radial styloid across the distal

0:27

pole and waist of the scaphoid to the capitate.

0:31

Let's cross-reference it.

0:32

There it is in the short axis projection.

0:35

It's an extrinsic, not to be confused

0:38

with this intrinsic, the palmar

0:42

aspect of the scapholunate ligament.

0:45

Now let's go to the radiolunate ligament,

0:47

also known as the radiolunotriquetral

0:51

ligament, which you heard about

0:52

in the coronal projection.

0:54

It's a little easier to see.

0:56

It's a little bit fatter.

0:58

It's a little more central.

1:00

And there it is in the short axis projection,

1:02

again, adjacent to the palmar aspect of the

1:07

scapholunate ligament and contributes fibers to it.

1:13

We're going to talk about the collateral

1:15

ligaments in a separate short vignette.
