The _ligamentum transversum_ spreads out between the head of the ulna
and the radius, thus uniting the two bones, and limiting supination
(Fig. 15, No. 1).
=Ligaments of the Carpal Joint.=—The carpal joint is made up of the
ulna, radius, the two carpal bones and the metacarpus.
There are two strong _ligamenta obliqua carpi ulnaris_ which extend from
the processus styloideus of the ulna to the tuberculum posterius carpi
ulnaris of the os carpi ulnaris.
The _ligamentum posticum ulnare carpi ulnaris_ extends from the
processus styloideus of the ulna to the os carpi ulnaris.

The _ligamentum ulnare carpi radialis_ is a short ribbon-like ligament
which passes over the above-mentioned ligaments and is attached to the
inner surface of the os carpus radialis.
The _ligamentum ulnare carpi radialis internum_ is a strong ligament
which originates on the inner part of the elbow. It extends to the upper
rim of the base of the main digit.
The _ligamentum radiale carpi radialis externum_ originates on the
outside of the head of the middle digit and inserts to the superior
tuberculum carpi radialis of the radius.
The _ligamentum carpi radialis internum_, a short ligament, extends from
the inside of the head of the main digit to the inner rim of the carpi
radialis.
The _ligamentum carpi interosseum_ is located between the carpal bones.
