23
Q

how is the distal radioulnar joint formed

A
  • head of ulna convex
  • ulnar notch on radius concave

-radius moving on ulna:
convex= roll and glide in same direction

24
Q

what are the functions in conjunction with PRUJ

A

pron/sup

  • occur simultaenously at both prox and distal radioulnar joints
  • also requires rotation of radius at humeroradial joint in annular lig
25
Q

what is the distal radioulnar joint articulation

A
  • head of ulna
  • TFCC
  • ulnar notch radius
26
Q

what is the radiocarpal/ulnocarpal joint articulation

A
  • radius
  • TFCC
  • prox row carpals (not pisiform)
27
Q

what is the midcarpal joint articulation

A

-prox and distal row

28
Q

what is the TFCC

A

triangular fibrocartilage complex

29
Q

what are the components of the TFCC

A
  • biconcave fibrocartilage disc
  • palmar ulnocarpal lig
  • ulnar collateral lig
  • dosral and volar radioulnar ligs sometimes
30
Q

what is the function fo the TFCC

A
  • major stabilizer DRUJ
  • binds distal radius and ulna
  • provides dual articular surface
  • separates radioulnar from radiocarpal joint
  • cushion- ulnar sided force transmission
31
Q

how do TFCC injuries happen

A

variable

  • FOOSH
  • extension wtih ulnar compression
  • forced radial or ulnar deviation
  • strong distratcion force
32
Q

what is the axis of rot for flex/ext

A

coronal axis between lunate and capitate

33
Q

what is the axis of rot for rad/ulnar dev

A

sagittal between lunate and capitate

34
Q

what is the axis fo rot for circumduction

A

polyaxial

35
Q

in the midcarpal joint, what is the ulnar compartment

A

capitate and hamate

convex

36
Q

in the midcarpal joint, what is the radial compartment

A

trapezium and trapezoid

  • concave in dorsal/volar direction
  • convex in radial/ulnar direction
37
Q

which motion does the midcarpal joint prefer

A

extension

38
Q

describe the ring system

A
  • bones within each row tethered together by interosseuous ligs
  • ring is only complete by addition of midcarpal ligs
  • as long as ligaments in tact, carpal bones move together as a unit
39
Q

describe the joint configuration at the radiocarpal/ulnocarpal joints

A
  • flex/ext prox row rolls and glides opposite
  • radial/ulnar dev prox row rolls and glides opposite
  • RD: scaphoid/lunate flex (rocks)
  • UD: prox row extend (twists)

concave: dosral/volar

44
Q

describe the joint configuration of the prox surface of the 1st MC

concex: dorsal/volar for palmar abd/add

45
Q

how many degrees of freedom in the thumb

A

3

46
Q

talk about radial ab/ad in the thumb

A

48
Q

what kind of joint is the thumb

A

condyloid

49
Q

describe the joint configuration of carpometacarpal joint 2 and 3

A

difficulty to classify as interlocking articular surfaces prevent movement- stability

what do the degrees of freedom allow for

A

cupping of the hand by slight flexion and IR of metacarples

52
Q

what is the function of the 2-5 fingers volar plates

A

ext: increases contact surface w MC head
flex: glides prox and prevents tendon pinching

53
Q

talk about the joint configuration of metacarpophalangeal joints 2-5

A

ovoid
distal surface of metacarpals: biconvex
prox surface of phalanges: concave

54
