Oblique Cord

Oblique Cord

The Oblique Cord, also known as the oblique ligament or cracovienne ligament, is a ligamentous structure within the human forearm. It is a continuation of the distal part of the interosseous membrane, which lies between the radius and ulna bones. The oblique cord extends obliquely from the ulna to the radius, crossing the interosseous space. The primary function of the oblique cord is to stabilize the radius and ulna bones during forearm rotation. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the forearm's anatomical structures, allowing for smooth and coordinated movements. The oblique cord works in conjunction with other ligaments and structures in the forearm, contributing to the overall stability and functionality of the joint. Understanding the anatomy and function of the oblique cord is important in the context of forearm injuries and surgical procedures. Trauma or pathology affecting this ligament can impact the biomechanics of the forearm, leading to instability and functional impairment. Surgeons may consider the oblique cord when addressing conditions such as fractures or dislocations in the forearm, ensuring appropriate management for optimal recovery and function.
