The joint is a synovial joint, comprising a common outer fibrous capsule and three inner synovial pouches, one for each joint. The fibrous joint capsule is strengthened by the '''extensor retinaculum''' on the dorsal aspect and the '''flexor retinaculum''' on the palmar aspect.  The '''carpal canal''' houses both the superficial and deep digital flexor tendon within a common synovial sheath.
