5) Hand joints Flashcards
Metacarpals
5 longer bones in the hand
Proximal: Quadrilateral base= articulate distal row carpal bones= carpometacarpal joints
Distal: Rounded head = articulate base proximal phalanx= metacarpalphalangeal
Carpometacarpal joint
Classification
Plane, simple, synoivial, multiaxail
Between carpal and metacarpal bones
Bases of medial 4 metacarpals + medial 3 distal carpal bones

ligaments
Dorsal Carpometacarpal ligament
Palmar Carpometacarpal ligament
Interosseous ligament
Dorsal Carpometacarpal ligament
Fibrous bands
Distal row of carpals - Bases of metacarpals
Each metacarpal: x2 bands
Palmar Carpometacarpal ligament
Similar to Dorsal ligament
base of third metacarpal receives 3 bands
Interosseous ligamnet
short
inferior angles of capitate and hamate- base of 3rd/4th metacarpal
Stability Carpometacarpal Joint
very stable providing firm base between joints of wrist and hand
Movement Carpometacarpal joint
slight gliding movement
Flexion and rotation of 5th metacarpal
Intermetacarpals
Plane,simple,synovial, multiaxail
between adjacent sides of bases of:
2nd+3rd
3rd+4th
4th+5th metacarpals
Metacarpalphalangeal joint
Condaloyid, simple , synovial, biaxail
