Anatomical terminology
[edit on Wikidata]
The annular ligament (orbicular ligament) is a strong band of fibers that encircles the head of the radius, and retains it in contact with the radial notch of the ulna.[1]
Per Terminologia Anatomica 1998, the spelling is "anular",[2] but the spelling "annular" is frequently encountered. Indeed, the most recent version of Terminologia Anatomica (2019) uses "annular" as the preferred English spelling.[3]
