"The long radiolunate ligament forms a part of the volar radiocarpal joint capsule and connects the palmar surface of the radial scaphoid fossa with the lunate and triquetral bone. It also runs in an oblique orientation parallel to and separated from the radioscaphocapitate ligament by the interligament sulcus 1-4."

"The long radiolunate ligament originates ulnar to the origin of the radioscaphocapitate ligament from the volar margin of the scaphoid fossa of the distal radius 1-3."
"The long radiolunate ligament can be visualised on ultrasound with the transducer placed at the volar aspect of the radial side of the slightly extended wrist in the longitudinal plane and then rotated towards the triquetral bone. The long axis of the ligament is displayed as an echogenic, fibrillary structure attaching the distal radius to the lunate and triquetral bone 2,3."
"The long radiolunate ligament is easily visualised on MRI. Similar to the radioscaphocapitate ligament it can be best appreciated on coronal or sagittal images or 3D images and usually has a hypointense appearance 4. The interligament sulcus can be delineated as a fluid intense structure. It also shows a striated appearance on coronal images."
