The Pisometacarpal Ligament is a ligamentous structure located in the hand, specifically in the region of the wrist. It connects the pisiform bone, one of the small carpal bones of the wrist, to the base of the fifth metacarpal bone, which is one of the long bones of the hand. This ligament is part of the complex network of ligaments and tendons that stabilize and support the intricate movements of the hand and wrist. The pisometacarpal ligament contributes to the stability of the pisiform bone, which is situated on the palmar surface of the ulna. Understanding the anatomy and function of ligaments like the pisometacarpal ligament is essential in the field of orthopedics and hand surgery. Injuries or disorders affecting these ligaments can impact hand function and may require specialized evaluation and treatment by orthopedic professionals.
