Intermetacarpal ligaments

**In the ligaments of the intermetacarpal joints.** Ligaments play an important function of the intermetacarpal joint. The holding apparatus of the metacarpophalangeal joints, or the ligamentous apparatus of the finger, consists of four ligaments: lateral, medial, posterior and dorsal and is responsible for the correct position of the phalanges during movement. Thanks to them, these joints retain a certain shape when walking or running. In other words, the ligaments of a person’s fingers provide them with strong support, allowing them to move freely. A patient may not have them, for example, with a traumatic dislocation, due to a severe inflammatory process. Areas of the hand may change color due to damage to tendons and nerves. This happens with traumatic dislocations of the metacarpal bones, or crushing of one of them. Most often the finger on the side of the impact is affected. A vascular aneurysm can also be the cause of a red finger.
