The posterior or dorsal surface is triangular and rough, for ligamentous attachment. The anterior or palmar surface presents, at its lower and inner side, a curved, hook-like process of bone, the imciform process (hamulus ossis hamati), directed from the palmar sur- face forward and outward. It gives attachment by its apex to the annular liga-.
