English translation: radial carpal ligament

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:radio-capitato-ulnaire
English translation:radial carpal ligament

Medical - Medical (general) / arthrodesis; fusion plate
French term or phrase: radio-capitato-ulnaire
le plan ligamentaire capsulaire :

Sur le plan antérieur :

« petit V » (radio-lunaro-ulnaire) et « grand V » (radio-capitato-ulnaire)

I think I got the first one (radial-lunar-ulnar) but have so far drawn a bit of a blank on the second one, which I thought might be similar to the French. Its the 'capitato' that stumps me. I thought it might be 'capitellar', but still not sure.... any help would be much appreciated.
