The intercarpal joints are synovial plane joints located between the carpal bones of the wrist. They allow for small gliding movements, contributing to the flexibility and overall motion of the wrist. These joints are reinforced by ligaments, including the dorsal, palmar, and interosseous ligaments, which provide stability. The midcarpal joint, between the proximal and distal…
