Radial collateral ligament of wrist joint
The radial collateral ligament extends from the tip of the styloid process of the radius and attaches to the radial side of the scaphoid, immediately adjacent to its proximal articular surface and some fibres extend to the lateral side of the trapezium.
It is in relation with the radial artery, which separates the ligament from the tendons of the Abductor pollicis longus and Extensor pollicis brevis.
The radial collateral ligament's role is to limit ulnar deviation at the wrist.
