• I would delete the flexor retinaculum, it’s further away from bone than the others, and would overlie the palmar carpal ligament
• Palmar carpal ligament is incorrect: what we call the palmar carpal lig is actually the palmar carpal fibrocartilage + underlying smaller ligaments that don’t need to be named (palmar ulnocarpal and palmar radiocarpal ligs). It is much larger than shown, and extends from radius and ulna to the bases of metacarpals III, IV, and V. See Miller’s anatomy of the dogp 173-4: incorporate the 2 named ligaments and the fibrocartilage in illustration.
• Additional ligaments that should be shown are the two accessory metacarpal ligaments.
