  • Front
  • Back

wrist articulations

distal end of radius to scaphoid and lunate, and triquetral during ulnar deviation

wrist classification

synovial ellipsoid

movements of wrist

flexion/extension


radial/ulnar deviation

capsule

bw distal radius and ulna and the proximal row of carpal bones

ligaments

- all are intrinsic

dorsal lig

resists flexion

palmar ligament

resists extension

ulnar collateral

resist radial deviation

radial collateral

resist ulnar deviation

3 kinds of joints in hand

- intercarpal joints- bw adjacent carpals


- carpometacarpal joints- carpal + metacarpal


- intermetacarpal joints- bw adjacent metacarpals 2-5

classification of joints

synovial planar


- includes all intercarpal joints, all intermetacarpal joints, and all carpometacarpal joints except 1st


- movement- allows hand to conform to irregular surfaces

intercarpal, carpometacarpal, and intermetacarpal ligaments

k

dorsal

- intrinsic


- resist palmar movement; concaving movement

palmar

- intrinsic


- resists dorsal movement; convexing movement

interosseous

- extrinsic


- holds bones together

-----

----

flexor retinaculum

- extrinsic


- holds tendons down and prevents bowstringing


- attachment site for intrinsic muscles of hand


- median nerve is underneath flexor retinaculum


- carpal tunnel.

attachment sites for flexor retinaculum

S, Tm, H, P

carpal tunnel syndrome

impingement of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel

carpometacarpal joint of thumb

flexion/extension


abduction/adduction


opposition (abduction,flexion,adduction) /reposition

dorsal carpometacarpal

checks flexion

palmar carpometacarpal

checks extension

radial collateral 

checks adduction

metacarpophalangeal joints

theres proximal middle and distal phalanges for 2-5, but not 1

MCP joint is

condyloid

review MCP actions

ok

Interphalangeal joints

- articulations- heads and bases of adjacent phalanges


- classification- synovial ginglymus


- movements- flexion/extension

MCP AND IP ligaments

k

palmar

- fibrocartilage


- checks extension

radial collateral

checks adduction/varus

ulnar collateral

checks valgus/abduction

CMJ of thumb

most impt joint of upper extremity


- flexion/extension


- abduction- towards ceiling


- adduction- towards table


- opposition- thumb to pinky


- reposition- putting it back

radial collateral ligament

lateral trapezium to radial side base of 1st met


- checks varus/adduction

palmar carpometacarpal ligament

palmar aspect of trapezium and first metacarpal


- checks extension

dorsal carpometacarpal ligament

dorsal aspect of trapezium and first metacarpal


- checks flexion

MPJ

- synovial condyloid joint


- middle finger can only abduct

metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal ligaments

THICK DENSE fibrocartilaginous structuers so that flexor tendons slip in and out


- sometimes referred to as palmar or volar plate

radial collateral

radial surface of adjacent bones


- checks varus/adduction

ulnar collateral

ulnar surface of adjacent bones


- checks valgus/abduction

deep transverse metacarpal

- extrinsic


- 3 short and wide flattened bands


- interconnects the heads and palmar ligaments of the 2,3 ,4, and 5 MP joints


- does not attach to thumb


- jimmy page ligament
