Coronal Anatomy: Extrinsic Ligaments Part 12

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

Now here's what I'm talking about.

0:02

Here's our sideways V. There's the distal limb

0:05

of the V. There's the proximal limb of the V,

0:08

the distal limb representing the dorsal

0:12

intercarpal ligament, the proximal limb right here

0:16

representing the dorsal radiotriquetral ligament.

0:21

You can see the V faces out towards the

0:23

radial side or opens towards the radial side.

0:27

The dorsal intercarpal ligament,

0:29

as stated, comes off the dorsal

0:31

tubercle of the triquetrum and courses over

0:35

towards the dorsal groove of the scaphoid.

0:38

It does, along with this ligament as well,

0:42

give off some fibers and attach to the scapholunate

0:46

and lunotriquetral ligaments, although

0:48

that direct attachment is difficult to see.

0:52

These two ligaments provide fine-tuning of

0:55

scaphoid movement during various rotational

0:58

movements of the wrist and produce fine control

1:03

in patients who potentially could have

1:05

scapholunate microinstability or dissociation,

1:10

these are important stabilizers of the

1:11

scaphoid along with some of the volar

1:14

ligaments you've already learned about.
