58
Q

What is the major stabilizer of the DRUJ

A

TFCC

59
Q

What are the functions of the TFCC?

A

stabilizes DRUJ

seperates the radioulnar from radoiocarpal joint

“cushions” ulnar sided force transmission.

60
Q

Ligaments of the Ulnocarpal side resist/limit what force?

A

radial deviation

61
Q

ligaments of the radiocaral side resist/limit what force?

A

Ulnar deviation

62
Q

Where does the axis for wrist FLX/EXT/radial/ulnar deviation lie?

A

between lunate and capitate bone. (but DJ said) axis is through capitate bone along base of 3rd metacarpal

63
Q

Moving hand into EXT gives what roll and glide to proximal row?

A

POST roll and ANT glide

64
Q

Moving hand into FLX gives what roll and glide to proximal row?

A

ANT roll and POST glide

65
Q

do the midcarpals move on an individual level?

A

NOPE the whole row moves

66
Q

Lichtmans ring theory states?

A

Ring will move carpal bones together

If bones roll to right (radial deviation) glide will be to the left…vise versa.

very little movement of ligs between bones, the ring does most of movement.

67
Q

what % of metacarpal or radoiocarpal joints moving with FLX/EXT of wrist?

A

50% MC

50% Radiocarpal joints

68
Q

What happens during radial deviation?

A

Scaphoid and Lunate rocks

69
Q

What happens during ulnar deviation?

A

The proximal row (extends) twists.

70
Q

what motion is limited during full FLX/EXT of wrist ?

A

RD and UD due to ligamentous constraints.

71
Q

List the order of bones from proximal to distal from carpal bones on

A

MCP -> proximal phalanx -> middle phalanx -> distal phalanx

72
Q

List the order of joints from proximal to distal from carpal bones on..

A

Caprometacarpal -> metacarpalphlangeal ->
proximal interphalangeal ->
Distal interphalangeal

73
Q

Does thumb have a middle phalanx

Q

What kind of joint is the thumb

A

sellar “saddle” joint

3

77

A

2 & 3

83
Q

What fingers DONT have a lock on them ? CMC?

A

4 & 5

84
Q

how do fingers 2&3 differ from 4&5?

A

2&3: more stability, less motion, “locked”
