Transverse ligaments of the heads of the metacarpal bones [L. Capitulorum (Ossium Metacarpalium) Transversa, Bna]

The transverse ligaments of the heads of the metacarpal bones, or the ligaments of the metacarpal bones (lat. L. Capitulorum Ossium Metacarpalium Transversa BNA) are connective tissue structures that connect the heads of the metacarpal bones to the bones of the wrist. These ligaments serve an important function in maintaining the stability and flexibility of the hand and fingers.

The metacarpal head ligaments form transverse connections between the metacarpal heads and the carpal bones, providing stability and flexibility to the hand. They run along the back of the hand, connecting the heads of the metacarpal bones to each other. Each ligament is made up of several fibers that form a complex network and provide a strong connection between the bones.

When the ligaments of the heads of the metacarpal bones are damaged, pain and limited mobility in the wrist and hand occur. This can lead to impaired hand function, as well as the development of various diseases such as tendonitis, arthritis and other joint diseases.

To restore the ligaments of the heads of the metacarpal bones, it is necessary to carry out complex treatment, which may include drug therapy, physical therapy, massage and other treatment methods. It is also important to follow work-rest guidelines to prevent re-injury and improve quality of life.

The transverse ligaments of the heads of the metacarpal bones or, as they are also called, the literal ligaments (l.capitulorum transversae) are an integral part of the ulnar collateral collateral ligament of the forearm, most often it is located on the medial surface of the forearm.
