DescriptionUnreviewed
The pisohamate ligament is a ligament in the hand.
It connects the pisiform to the hook of the hamate.
It is a prolongation of the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris. It serves as part of the origin for the abductor digiti minimi.
It also forms the floor of the ulnar canal, a canal that allows the ulnar nerve and ulnar artery into the hand.
