N2 - The capitohamate (CH) joint was studied with the use of 11 dissected adult cadaver wrists, 3 serially sectioned adult cadaver wrists, and 3 serially sectioned fetal wrists. Three CH interosseous ligaments were clearly identified: the dorsal, deep, and palmar interosseous ligaments. In addition, the unique longitudinal interosseous ligament is described in detail. Previously not described are the anterior interconnecting bands, which originate from the palmar interosseous ligament and have their insertion at the interosseous recess between capitate and hamate. Morphologic data of the most important osseous and ligamentous structures is provided.
