14 lis 2016 · The anatomical characteristics of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) have recently been further clarified. Its bony insertion sites proximally to the scaphoid and pisiform are more round, whereas the distal insertion sites to the trapezium and hamate are more oblong, with reproducible areas of insertion. The thickness of the TCL varies along ...

The flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament) is a fibrous band that covers the carpal bones and forms the carpal tunnel. It is involved in carpal tunnel syndrome, a nerve entrapment condition that causes tingling and weakness in the hand.
The terms transverse carpal ligament and flexor retinaculum have commonly been used to describe the fibrous structure running between the ulnar-sided hamate and pisiform bones and the radial-sided scaphoid and trapezium bones. However, the flexor retinaculum is composed of three parts. The most proximal part is continuous with the volar antebrachial fascia, the intermediate part is recognized ...
10 sie 2023 · The flexor retinaculum (also known as the transverse carpal ligament) is a rectangular-shaped fibrous band located at the volar aspect of the hand, near the wrist.
1 lis 2014 · The thickness of the TCL varies along the path of the median nerve, with the thickest portions distal ulnarly and proximal radially. The predominant fiber orientation is transverse. This more detailed understanding of the anatomy of the TCL may enable more novel treatments of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament; anterior annular ligament) is a strong, fibrous band, which arches over the carpus, converting the deep groove on the front of the carpal bones into a tunnel, through which the Flexor tendons of the digits and the median nerve pass.
The high-energy nature of these injuries often causes associated soft tissue compromise and neurovascular injury. In particular, the flexor retinaculum is typically avulsed from its insertions, leading to flattening of the transverse carpal arch.
