Arthrology: Wrist Flashcards
Distal radioulnar joint type
Pivot
DRUJ pronation/supination arthrokinematics
Roll and glide in same direction
DRUJ morphology
Convex ulna
Concave radius (mover)
Radiocarpal joint type
Ellipsoidal/condyloid
Radiocarpal morphology
Radius concave
carpal bones convex
Radio/ulnocarpal flexion arthrokinematics
Palmar roll, dorsal glide
Radio/ulnocarpal extension arthrokinematics
dorsal roll, palmar glide
Radio/ulnocarpal RD arthrokinematics
radial roll, ulnar glide
Radio/ulnocarpal UD arthrokinematics
ulnar roll, radial glide
TFCC functions
major DRUJ stabilizer
dual articular surface
separates radioulnar from radiocarpal
ulnar sided force transmission
TFCC injuries
FOOSH
extension w/ ulnar compression
Forced RD or UD
strong distraction force
Wrist flexion/extension
Happens at radiocarpal and midcarpal joints
