Claw hand
median and ulnar nerve, tightening of flexor muscles (if only ring and little finger it is just an injury to ring and little finger
Clawing (intrinsic minus):
Proximal phalanx hyperextends on MC below while middle and distal phalanx flex
Can occur when intrinsic muscles are weak or paralyzed (ulnar nerve injury) this position can occur with EDC activity and at rest
Also known as intrinsic minus position (absence of intrinsic muscles)
Bishops Hand
- ulnar nerve injury, little and ring finger flexed
Wrist drop-
radial nerve injury, wrist extensors do not function
Intrinsic plus of hand
Flexion at MCP with extension at PIP and DIP, ED not firing
Ulnar drift-
ulnar muscles are stronger and tighter than radial muscles pulling hand into ulnar deviation
Swan neck
PIP is hyperextended and DIP is flexed
Boutonneire-
flexed PIP and DIP hyperextension (usually due to trauma of the extensor hood)
Mallet finger
flexion of DIP, avulsion of extensor digitorum at distal phalanx
Trigger finger
nodule in flexor tendons, as finger is pulled into extension nodule snaps
Dupuytren’s contracture-
contracture of flexor muscles, genetic
Extrinsic muscles
palmarus longus, flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris- primary actions at wrist
flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus, flexor pollicis longus- secondary actions at wrist
extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor indicis, extensor pollicis longus and brevis, abductor pollicis longus, extensor digitorum
Extrinsic muscles that contribute to finger flexion-
FDS (primarily PIP) and FDP (MP, PIP, DIP)
Extrinsic muscles that contribute to finger extension
EDC, EI, and EDM
Extrinsic muscles that contribute to thumb movements
flexor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis longus (extends IP and MCP of thumb), extensor pollicis brevis (CMC abduction, thumb extension), abductor pollicis longus
Dorsal interossei & Volar interossei
arise between MC and attach to proximal phalanges or extensor hood
produce MCP abduction/adduction
Flex MCP joint- greater MA when already in flexion
4 dorsal interossei
1st DI inserts entirely into proximal phalanx and extensor hood
Middle and ring have proximal and distal attachments
NO DI on 5th finger
Abduct index, middle and ring fingers
3-4 ventral interossei
Only distal attachments
Adduct the 2nd, 4th and 5th MCP
Lumbricals:
arise from FDP in palm attach to lateral band of extensor retinaculum
Oponens pollicis:
only intrinsic muscle to have distal attachment on first MC
Intrinsic thumb muscles:
Oponens pollicis, Abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, adductor pollicis
Radial deviation:
extensor carpi radialis longus, flexor carpi radialis (helps prevent extension with radial deviation of ECRL) & flexor pollicis longus (some), extensor pollicis brevis (minor)
Ulnar deviation:
flexor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi ulnaris
• Flexion with ulnar deviation-
flexor carpi ulnaris
• Flexion of thumb with some wrist flexion
flexor pollicis longus
• Extension with radial deviation
extensor carpi radialis longus
• Extension of third finger only
extensor carpi radialis brevis
• Extension of wrist with ulnar deviation
extensor carpi ulnaris
• Extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi ulnaris
active during forceful finger or wrist flexion to keep wrist from flexing
• Flexor digitorum profundus
: gentle pinch, or fix all but DIP
• Flexor digitorum superficialis:
with more finger force needed
• EDC alone:
MP joint hyperextension with IP flexion
Wrist flexors-
medial epicondyle via common flexor tendon
Wrist extensors-
lateral epicondyle via common extensor tendon
Supinators-
lateral epicondyle
Pronators-
medial epicondyle (pronator teres)
Ulnar Negative Variance
: short ulna in comparison with radius at their distal ends
Abnormal force distribution, Kienbock’s disease: AVN of lunate
TFCC thicker
Ulnar Positive Variance
long distal ulna in comparison with the radius at their distal ends
Common after distal radius fracture, pain common with ulnar deviation due to pinching of structures
TFCC impingement btwn triquetrum and distal ulna
Thinner TFCC
Axial compression applied to wrist:
Radiocarpal joint:
Scaphpoid and lunate receives approximately 80% of load
TFCC receives approximately 20% of load
Axial compression applied to wrist:
Midcarpal joint:
Almost equal distribution of loads across joint
80% of compression through radius at distal radioulnar joint, 20% of compression through ulna at distal radioulnar joint
Radius angled 23 degrees ulnarly-
radius 12mm greater on radial side than on ulnar side
Radius angled 11 degrees volarly
posterior radius slightly longer than the volar radius
TFCC complex:
triangular fibrocartilage, dorsal radioulnar ligament, volar radioulnar ligament, ulnar collateral ligament complex, meniscus homologue
dorsal and volar radioulnar ligaments
are generally dense and attach ulnar head to ulnar styloid
ulnocarpal ligament
arises from the TFC
Stabilize distal radioulnar joint, Cushion ulna on carpus, Allows axial loading of ulnar aspect of forearm, Increased articular surface for carpus, Stabilize ulnar side of carpus
Proximal carpal rows:
interosseous ligaments-
scapholunate interosseous: scaphoid stability
lunotriquetral interosseous: lunate and triquetrum stability
Extrinsic ligaments:
carpals to the radius or ulna proximally or metacarpals distally
More likely to fail
Better healing due to vascularity
Protect intrinsic
Ulnar and radial collateral ligaments
Volar (palmar) ligaments
thicker and stronger than dorsal, more functional activities volarly
3 bands
radioscaphocapitate, short and long radiolunate, radioscapholunate
Intrinsic ligaments
: interconnect the carpals to themselves (intercarpal or interosseous)
Poor vascularity, poor healing, rely on synovial fluid for nutrition
