The deep transverse metacarpal ligament (also called the deep transverse palmar ligament) is a narrow fibrous band which runs across the palmar surfaces of the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth metacarpal bones, connecting them together.
Deep transverse metacarpal ligament
Metacarpophalangeal articulation and articulations of digit. Volar aspect.
Its palmar surface is concave where the flexor tendons pass over it. Behind it, the tendons of the interosseous muscles of the hand pass to their insertions.
Clinical significance
Rarely, the deep transverse metacarpal ligament may rupture.[2]
