The '''deep transverse metacarpal ligament''' is a narrow fibrous band, which runs across the volarpalmar surfaces of the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth [[metacarpal]] bones, connecting them together.

It is blended with the volar (glenoid) ligaments of the [[palmar metacarpophalangeal ligament]] articulationss.

Its volarpalmar surface is concave where the [[Flexor]]flexor tendons pass over it; behind it the tendons of the [[Interosseiinterosseous muscles of the hand]] pass to their insertions.
