What muscle attach to the proximal, middle and distal phalanx
- base - flexors interossi extensor hood and lumbrical extensor hood into central band
- middle - ED central slip, FDS splits come together
- Distal- ED lateral bands, FDP
what is the stable base of the hand
- the relative immobile joints of the index and middle finder metacarpals and distal carpals
- 4th and 5th are the mobile rays `
what role do the metacarpal bones play in the maintenance of the longitudinal arch
they have a slight dorsal arch in the sagittal plane
What structures support the transverse arch of the hand?
- superficial and deep transverse metacarpal ligaments
- tension of the finger flexors
- thenar and hyponthenar muscles
What Kienbock disease
AVN of the lunate
What is radial inclination of the wrist
slope of the distal radial articular joint
- normal is 15-20 degrees
What is ulnar variance
the position of the distal end of the ulna relative to the medial end of the radius
- ulnar minus - short
- ulnar postive - long
What is DISI and VISI
- radiographic finding of a displaced lunate
- dorsal intercalated segmental instability shows a dorsal tilt of the lunate relative to the radius and scaphoid
- volar ISI - is a volar tilt
when the MP joint need to be immobilized what position should you put them in and why
flexion due the the mechanics of the collateral ligaments that are tight in flexion and loose in extension
what are the normal ROM for the wrist
- flexion - 90
- extension - 70
- RD - 15-20
- UD - 20-30
What ligament is injured with gamekeeper thumb
thumb UCL - is strained
complete rupture is knows as Stener lesion
What is the relative load transfer through wrist’s radial and ulnar joint with gripping and weight bearing
80% radial
20% unlar
What is the difference between the TFC and TFCC
- TFC is part of the TFCC
- TFCC is made up of TFC, articular disc, meniscus homologue, UCL, sheath of the ECU, dorsal and volar radioulnar ligaments
what is the ratio of palmar carpal ligaments to dorsal carpal ligaments
about 4:1
what is the space of poirier
- mechanically weak area of the palmar carpal ligaments where the lunate tends to sublet
- space between the 2 triangular ligament arrangement of the lunate and scaphoid apex
Name the content of the wrist extensor compartments
221211 1- APL and EPB 2- ECRL and ECRB 3- EPL 4- ED and EI 5- EDQ 6- ECU
what are the layers of the carpal tunnel
1- deepest- 4 FDP tendons 2- FDS 3- tends of the index and small finder 4- tendons of the long and ring finger 5- FPL is the most radial tendon
what are the pulleys of the fingers
- cruciate - X shaped - C1-3
2. annular - circular shaped - A1-5
what pulleys are “most important”
A2 and A5 located at the proximal and middle phalanges
What pulley is most closely associated with trigger finger
A1 at the metacarpal head
What is the origin and insertion of the lumbricals
tendon of the FDP and the radial side of the extensor hood
how do the lumbrical differ from each other
1 and 2 are unipennate
3 and 4 are bipennate
