Wrist

In human anatomy, the wrist is the flexible and narrower connection between the forearm and the hand.

Dorsal radiocarpal ligament

('ligamentum radiocarpeum dorsale; posterior ligament') The dorsal radiocarpal ligament less thick and strong than the volar, is attached, above, to the posterior border of the lower end of the radius; its fibers are directed obliquely downward and medialward, and are fixed, below, to the dorsal surfaces of the navicular, lunate, and triangular, being continuous with those of the dorsal intercarpal ligaments. It is in relation, behind, with the Extensor tendons of the fingers; in front, it is blended with the articular disk.
