Q

Proximal radioulnar joint - pronation

A

As the radius rotates it crosses over the ulna
Pronator teres - pulls the radius across the ulna

20
Q

Proximal radioulnar joint - radial collateral ligament

A

Supports joint capsule - helps improve structural integrity
Leaves the radius free to rotate
From the lateral epicondyle to the annular ligament of the radius

21
Q

Proximal radioulnar joint - ulnar collateral ligament

A

Supports joint capsule - helps improve structural integrity
Multiple bands
Anterior band - cord like
Posterior band - fan like
Oblique band
Heavier and firmer attachment

22
Q

Proximal radioulnar joint - annular ligament

A

Holds the head of the radius against the radial notch of the ulna
Attached to the radial collateral ligament
Not attached to radius - allows radius to rotate
Some instability

23
Q

Distal radioulnar joint

A

Articular disc - Fibrocartilage, hyaline cartilage, flexible. From ulnar styloid process across to the head of the radius
Ulna articulates with the articular discs
Radius articulates with the bones of the hand
Palmer radioulnar ligament
Dorsal radioulnar ligament

24
