Carpal Ligament Collateral Radial

The collateral radial carpal ligament (lat. l. collaterale carpi radiale) is a set of fibrous tissues that connect the scaphoid bone to the radius bone of the wrist. It is one of the three ligaments of the wrist, along with the lateral and lunate ligaments.

The carpal radial collateral ligament is a transverse band of fibrous tissue that runs from the lateral edge of the scaphoid bone to the radius bone of the wrist. It starts from the medial edge of the scaphoid and runs parallel to the radius, attaching to its posterior surface.

This ligament plays an important role in maintaining wrist stability and mobility. It provides the connection between the scaphoid bone and the wrist joint, which allows the hand to move and hold objects.

If the collateral radial carpal ligament is injured, pain, swelling, limited movement, and other symptoms may occur. In such cases, it is necessary to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Overall, the radial collateral carpal ligament is essential to the normal functioning of the wrist and maintenance of its functionality. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor its condition and, if necessary, take measures to restore or strengthen it.

Numerous ligaments and joints play an important role in the functioning of the human hand. But among them, the ligament of the radial and lateral carpal joint occupies a special place. It is considered the most complex and most functionally important muscle tendon joint of the hand. Its inability to adequately function and recover leads to severe disabling consequences due to the resulting pathological movements. Various pathologies of this ligament, being frequently encountered in the practice of an orthopedic traumatologist, require detailed clinical consideration and approach.
