This document describes various ligaments of the upper limb. It discusses ligaments of the clavicle including the costoclavicular ligament and interclavicular ligament. It also describes the important coracoclavicular ligament which has two parts - the conoid and trapezoid ligaments. Ligaments of the scapula are also outlined including the coracoacromial, coracohumeral, and transverse scapular ligaments. The document then discusses ligaments of the elbow, wrist, and hand.

3. Ligaments of upper limb

4. 1. Ligaments of clavicle :
C osteocla vicula r lig a ment
interclavicular ligament

5. Costeoclavicularligament:
It is present between first costal cartillage and
lower part of medial end of clavicle.
I
nterclavicularligament: it is present between the
two lig a ment of upper end of two cla vicle.It’s
function is to connect two clavicle to each other
a nd prevent two cla vicle to pulling a wa y from
each other.

7. Coracoclavicularligament:
it is very important ligament. It is important for its weight transmission
from the upper limb to axial skeleton.
It ha s two pa rts.
1-Trapezoid. 2- Conoid
Conoid : This part is start from the base of corcoid process. It is
basically the part of coracotuburcle ligament.
Trapezoid: It is trapezoid shaped. It is attracted on the middle of the
corcoid process.

9. Ligaments of scapula :
▶Coracoacromial ligament :It is started at the tip of corcoid
process and end at the base of acromion process. It convert
groove notch into foramen.
▶Coracuhumeral ligament :It passes from tip of corcoid process
till the superior surfa ce of upper end of humerus.
▶Transverse Scapular ligament :also called suprascapular
lig a ment. It ba sic a lly convert the supra sc a pula r notch into
groove or foramen. Suprascapular artery passes above this
ligament and suprascapular nerve passes below the ligament.

11. Spinoglenoid ligament:
▶This ligament attaches from the spine of scapula to the glenoid
angle and it convert spine of glenoid notch into spine of glenoid
foramen. Supraspinous vessels passes above it and nerve passes
below below this ligament.
▶ Ligament of humerus and elbow :
▶Transverse humeral ligament :Convert the upper end of
intertubercle into foramen. :

13. Radial and Ulnar Colleteral ligament
of Elbow :
Radial ligament : It is fan shaped ligament also known as
lateral and Colleteral ligament
1. Ulnar ligament :also known as medial Colleteral
ligament. It is triangular shaped ligament. It has three
parts anterior, posterior, oblique.
2. Ligament of radioulnar joint :

15. Quadrate ligament:
▶ Above the ra dia l tuberosity O f lig a ment a nd it is a tta ched to
the Ulnar tuberosity. It bind the upper end of radius and ulna.
▶ Annular ligament : It is semi circular ligament attached at the
margin of radial notch of ulna in which head of radius rotate.
It form a n oseofa cia l ring or c a na l.
▶Oblique cord :bind to radius and ulna. It is attached slightly
below to the radial tuberosity( bicep tendon attach here)
and ulna.

17. INTERO SSEO US M EM BRANES :
Fibrous connection between radius and ulna
specialized for weight transmission between
radius and ulna.

19. Ligaments of wrist and hand :
Radial Colleteral ligament of wrist : Itstarted at the Lateral end of
radius and attach on the trapesium bone.
Ulnar ligament :It started at the ulna and attached to the hook of
hemate.
Palmar carpal ligament :
Palmar radio carpal ligament : from radius to carpal bones.

21. Palmar Ulnocarpal ligament :
From ulna to carpal bones.
▶ Dorsal carpal ligament : only one ligament on the dorsal side
of radius and carpal bone .
▶ Also c a lled dorsa l ra dioc a rpa l lig a ment. It is a tta ched on
radius.
▶ CarpometaCarpal ligamet: join carpal bones and
metacarpals bones to each other.
▶ Intermetacarpal ligament : join the basis of meta carpal to
each other.
