Hand Flashcards
bones in the hand
- 5 metacaprels
- 5 prox phalanx
- 4 mid phalanx
- 5 dist phalanx
jnts in the hand
- MP: metacarpel phalangeal (knuckle)
- PIP: prox interphalangeal
- DIP: distal interphalangeal
- IP: interphalangeal (thumb)
movement of fingers
- flex/exten
- abduct/adduct (mid finger wont move)
what lig connects heads of metacarpels?
transverse metacarpel lig
what lig stabilizes IP jnts laterally?
collateral lig
what lig covers palmar side of IP anf MP jnt?
volar plate
-stop over hyper extension
what are the ligs of thumb
radial and ulnar collateral lig
radial: lat side of MP jnt
ulnar: med side of MP jnt
mechanism of injuring radial/ulnar collateral lig of thumb
-jammed/hyperextension
what is the thenar eminence composed of
- abductor pollicus brevis
- opponens pollicus
- flexor pollicus brevis
where is the hypothenar eminence?
prox to 5th digit
-extends to pisiform
the hypothenar eminence is composed of…
- abduct digit quinti
- opponen digiti quinti
- flexor digiti quinti
borders of the snuff box
radial side:
-abductor pollicus longus
-abductor pollicus brevis
ulnar side: extensor brevis longus
flexor digitorum superficialis
-what does it flex?
- splits at mid pnt of prox phalanx
- attaches to lat crest of each mid phalanx
- flexes PIP
flexor digitorum profundus
-what does it flex?
- runs along length of finger and inserts into base of distal phalanx
- flexes the DIP
two parts of extensor digitorm
med band and two lat bands
med band of extensor digitorum
-what does it extend
- inserts on mid phalanx
- extends PIP
two lat bands of extensor digitorum
-split at prox phalanx
-reunite at middle phalanx
insert into DIP
extends DIP
mechanism of a fracture
-direct blow to top of finger
where is a sprain in the finger the most common
PIP jnt
mechanism of game keepers thumb
forceful abduct of prox phalanx sometimes w/ hyper extension
what ligament is injured in game keepers thumb?
-avulsion of capsule and ulnar collat ligament
waht tendon is involved in boutonnieres deformity
-extensor digitorum med band
where does the deformity occur in bout deform
- PIP jnt = cant extend
- will be stuck in flex
mechanism of mallet finger
blow to tip of finger
-excessive flexion of hyperextension of DIP
