Distal interosseous membrane of the right cadaver wrist. (a) Dorsal view of the distal oblique bundle (DOB) and the central band. (b) The distal radius with the distal interosseous membrane and TFCC viewed from the dorsoulnar side. The ulna has been removed. DOB inserts on the dorsal inferior rim of the sigmoid notch of the radius. R, radius; U, ulna.
