Hand (Exam 1) Flashcards
What type of joints are the carpometacarpals
synovial, plane gliding
What type of joints are the intermetacarpals
synovial plane gliding
What type of joints are the metacarop-phalangeal
synovial, condyloid (proximal and distal)
What type of joints are the interphalangeal
synovial, hinge
What join the fingers will allow abduction and adduction
metacarpo-phalangeal: synovial condyloid joint
What join in the fingers will allow flexion and extension
proximal and distal interphalangeal
What type of joint is the 1st carpometacarpal joint
synvoial saddle
What types of movement are permitted at the 1st carpometacarpal joint
adduction abduction extension flexion opposition reposition
Where does the C7 dermatome go
middle finger
What arterial arches are seen at the radial and ulnar arterial arches
superficial palmar arch at ulnar and deep palmar arch at radial
What are the PAD muscles
the interosseous palmar muscles that adduct
What are the DAB muscles
the interosseous palmar muscles that abduct
What muscles in the hand are innervated by median nerve
(2 Loaf)
2 lumbricals, opponens, abductor, and a flexor
What are the myotomes of the hand
c8-t1
What are the dermatomes of the hand
C6 thumb
C7 Middle finger
C8 pinky
What causes Dupytren’s contracture
fibrotic thickening and shortening of palmar aponeuroses
What occurs during Dupytren’s contracture
pulls digits 5 and 6 into the palm of the hand and you cannot move these digits
Is Dupytren’s contracture a neurologic condition
no, it is dysfunction of CT
Wheres is the midpalmar space found within the hand
found between the deep muscles and central compartment of the hand
What is the clinical correlation regarding the midpalmar space
travels from the hand to the carpal tunnel to the forearm: infection can spread from hand and damage median nerve and travel to forearm
What compartment of the hand are the tendons held within
central compartment
What is the thenar space
thumb space
What is the hypothenar space
pinky
What are the borders of the carpal tunnel
floor: carpal bones
Roof: flexor retinaculum (scaffoid, trapezium)
What will run through the flexor retinaculum
tendon of flexor carpi radialis
What structures run through the carpal tunnel
flexor digitorum profundus tendons (4)
flexor digitorum superficialis tnedons (4)
flexor pollicis longus tendon (1)
median nerve
Will the palmar cutaneous nerve be affected in carpal tunnel syndrome
no as it branches off above the tunnel
Where is Guyon’s canal located
between hamate and pisiform carpal bones
