Deep Transverse Metacarpal Ligament
The deep transverse metacarpal ligament (also called the deep transverse palmar ligament) is a narrow fibrous band which runs across the palmar surfaces of the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth metacarpal bones, connecting them together. Structure The deep transverse metacarpal ligament connects the palmar surfaces of the heads of the second, third, fourth, and fifth metacarpal bones. It is blended with the palmar metacarpophalangeal ligament The metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) are situated between the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges of the fingers. These joints are of the condyloid kind, formed by the reception of the rounded heads of the metacarpal bones into shallow cav ...s. Its palmar surface is concave where the flexor tendons pass over it. Behind it, the tendons of the interosseous muscles of the hand pass to their insertions. Clinical significance Rarely, the deep transverse metacarpal ligament may rupture. Additional Images File:Dissectio ...
