Abstract



Background


Although the collateral and accessory collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joint contribute to the stability of this joint, the functional role of the various portions of these ligaments during flexion is unclear. We investigated changes in the three-dimensional shape and length of the collateral and accessory collateral ligaments during flexion to determine how each portion stabilized the metacarpophalangeal joint.
