The pisohamate ligament is a band of fibrous tissue that connects two bones in the wrist, the pisiform and the hamate. While there are no true synonyms for this specific ligament, the words pisohamate complex or pisohamate articulation may be used to refer to the joint created by these two bones and the ligament connecting them. Other related terms include wrist ligaments, carpal ligaments, or simply ligaments of the hand. Understanding the anatomy of the pisohamate ligament and its surrounding structures is important for diagnosing and treating injuries or conditions affecting the wrist and hand.
