Along with the dorsal radiocarpal (DRC) ligament, it acts as a dorsal radioscaphoid stabilizer, with dynamism due to its ability to modify its length up to threefold by changing the angles between its V-shaped bundle morphology. The DIC ligament consistently originates from the dorsal tubercle of the triquetrum on the ulnar side. It spans transversely, attaching to the dorsal groove of the scaphoid (97\u2013100%), lunate (75\u201390%), and proximal rim of the trapezium (12.5\u201350%), and overlapping the lunotriquetral interosseous ligament and the scapholunate interosseous ligament. Together with the DRC, Viegas et al (Viegas SF, Yamaguchi S, Boyd NL, Patterson RM. The dorsal ligaments of the wrist: anatomy, mechanical properties, and function.
