Ligaments of the wrist complex, Dorsal Carpal ligaments, volar carpal…

- - - - More likely to fail
        
        Better potential for healing
        
        Rely of vascular tissues for nutrition
- - - - Short, intermediate and long
      - Lie within the synovial lining (intracapsular)
        
        Rely on synovial fluid for nutrition
- - - - Converges on the triquetrum from the distal radius
        
        Might attach to the
        
        lunate and
        
        lunotriquetral interosseous ligament
        
        Offset the sliding of the proximal carpal condyle on the inclined radius
- - - - deep
        3 bands
        
        Radioscapholunate
        
        Radiolunotriquetral (radiolunate)
        
        Radioscaphocapitate (radiocapitate)
      - superficial
        1 band
        
        radial collateral ligament
        
        is an extension of the
        volar radiocarpal ligament and capsule
    - - (superficial)
        
        TFC
        
        Ulnocarpal meniscus homologue
        
        Ulna collateral ligament
        
        Ulnolunate ligament
- - - - Maintain stability between lunate and triquetrum
      - Injury to the ligament is associated with lunate instability
      - This injury occurs mostly with concomitant extrinsic ligament injuries
      - V-Deltoid ligament – Volar intercarpal ligament
        
        Scaphotrapezium ligament
        
        Volar wrist ligaments are taut with wrist extension
