| ligamentum collaterale carpi ulnare | A ligament that passes from the styloid process of the ulna to the pisiform and triquetrum. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi ulnare, internal collateral ligament of the wrist, medial ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum collaterale fibulare | <anatomy> The cordlike ligament that passes from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale fibulare, lateral ligament of knee, Winslow's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum collaterale radiale | The ligament that connects the lateral epicondyle of the humerus with the annular ligament of the radius. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale radiale, lateral ligament of elbow, radial collateral ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum collaterale tibiale | <anatomy> The broad fibrous band that passes from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial margin and medial surface of the tibia; the medial meniscus is attached to its deep surface; it is continuous with (a thickening of) the fibrous capsule of the knee joint. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale tibiale, medial ligament of knee. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ligamentum colli costae | <anatomy> The ligament that connects the dorsal aspect of the neck of a rib to the ventral aspect of the corresponding transverse process. Synonym: ligamentum costotransversarium, ligamentum colli costae, middle costotransverse ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ligamentum coracoacromiale | <anatomy> The heavy arched fibrous band that passes between the coracoid process and the acromion above the shoulder joint; the osseofibrous arch thus formed prevents upward dislocation of the shoulder (glanohumeral) joint. Synonym: ligamentum coracoacromiale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum coracoclaviculare | <anatomy> The strong ligament that unites the clavicle to the coracoid process; it is subdivided into the conoid ligamentum and the trapezoid ligamentum. The free upper limb is passively suspended from the clavicular "strut" by the coracoclavicular ligament; the ligament also plays an important role in preventing dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint. Synonym: ligamentum coracoclaviculare, Caldani's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum coracohumerale | The ligament that passes from the base of the coracoid process to the greater tubercle of the humerus. Synonym: ligamentum coracohumerale. (05 Mar 2000) |
