Q

Flexion increases MPJ stability Why?

A

Because the MC head iswider on its volar surface,
flexion increases joint stability by tightening the CL and elongating the
VP. (CAM effect)

Q

There are no extensor insertions on the proximal phalanx

A

T

28
Q

How did the proximal phalanx extend?

A

the sagittal bands transmit tension to the volar plate to pull the proximal phalanx into extension

29
Q

the intrinsic
muscles pass volar to the MP joint
axis and thus aid in flexion at that joint.

A

36
Q

In metacarpal fracutre the
the hand may have a significant weakness with grip or finger extension, why?
