Pisiform-Uncinate ligament

The pisiform-hook ligament (l.pisohamatum) is a connection of two muscles: the pisiform and the hook. This ligament is located on the anterior surface of the shoulder joint and is responsible for extension and abduction of the arm.

The pisiform muscle is located on the back of the forearm and starts from the shoulder blade. It runs along the forearm and ends at the elbow joint. The hook muscle begins on the shoulder and runs along the forearm, ending at the ulna.

When these muscles contract together, they extend and move the arm to the side. This allows us to lift and hold objects and perform other hand movements.

The pisiform-uncinate ligament plays an important role in our daily life. It helps us do many different movements with our hands, such as writing, drawing, playing musical instruments and much more.

The pisiform uncinate ligament (lat. Liggamata crus humorea) is a rather rare type of ligament on the foot, which, due to its anatomy, is characterized by many pathologies and pathologies of the whole body, but doctors recognize the possibility of treatment without surgery at all stages. This type of ligament has another name - lig. crus umireli - that is, a ligament of a softly crooked wrist. In this case, the word "curvature" means enough simplicity to keep the hand motionless. Actually, this mobility provides the ligament with another interesting function - the function of maintaining posture, which, of course, requires serious physical effort.

Pisiform ligaments are characterized by the presence of anatomical structures (branches) that can sometimes grow above normal levels. Usually their length is about 6 cm. From the point of exit they have a pointed shape and are directed towards the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger. By their nature, ligaments are quite elastic, and their fiber structure can be distributed unevenly. In addition, in this type of ligament new growths may appear in the form of cords, bends or thickenings. In such cases, doctors talk about a violation of the location and structure of these tissues.
