SUBTENDINOUS SYNOVIAL BURSA |
Located between the tendon of insertion of the infraspinatus and the greater tubercle of the humerus. A bursa is a closed connective tissue sac containing synovial fluid, which reduces friction. |
|
|
FLEXOR MANICA |
At the metacarpophalangeal joint, it lies around the deep flexor tendon that passes through it forming a collar |
|
|
DIGITAL SYNOVIAL SHEATH |
The superficial flexor tendons are in a common synovial membrane called the digital synovial sheath |
|
|
PALMAR ANNULAR LIGAMENT |
It firmly holds the superficial and deep digital flexor tendons in place at the metacarpophalangeal joint. It crosses the flexor manica. |
|
|
FLEXOR RETINACULUM |
The three tendons of the deep digital flexor (humeral head, ulnar head, radial head) all fuse to form a single tendon. This tendon is held in place in the carpal canal by the thick, deep part of the fibrous flexor retinaculum |
|
|
CARPAL CANAL |
It is formed by the accessory carpal bone laterally, the palmar carpal ligament and the carpal bones dorsally, and the flexor retinaculum on the palmar suface |
|
|
ANNULAR DIGITAL LIGAMENTS |
It supports the deep digital flexor tendon proximal and distal to the palmar surface of the proximal interphalangeal joint |
|
|
MEDIAL and LATERAL GLENOHUMERAL LIGAMENTS |
Poorly developed thickenings on each side of the fibrous part of the humeral (shoulder) joint capsule |
|
|
TRANSVERSE HUMERAL RETINACULUM |
It is the collagenous thickening across the tendon of origin of the biceps at the intertubercular groove |
|
|
ELBOW JOINT |
It is a hinge joint formed by the condyle of the humerus, the head of the radius, and the trochlear notch of the ulna |
|
|
LATERAL and MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENTS |
They are the pronounced thickenings in the fibrous layer of the elbow joint capsule. |
|
|
INTEROSSEOUS LIGAMENT |
It is a condensation of collagenous tissue that unites the radius and ulna proximally |
|
|
ANTEBRACHIOCARPAL JOINT |
The proximal carpal joint between the radius and ulna articulating with the intermedioradial and ulnar carpal bones. The antebrachiocarpal joint does not communicate with the other two joints of the carpus |
|
|
MIDDLE CARPAL JOINT |
The middle carpal joint between the two rows of carpal bones. The carpometacarpal and middle carpal joint compartments communicate between the distal row of carpal bones |
|
|
CARPOMETACARPAL JOINT |
The distal carpal joint between the distal row of carpal bones and the metacarpals. The carpometacarpal and middle carpal joint compartments communicate between the distal row of carpal bones |
|
|
METACARPOPHALANGEAL, PROXIMAL INTERPHALANGEAL, DISTAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINTS |
These are the three articulations of each main digit. Medial and lateral collateral ligaments support these joints |
