most mobile CMC joint is at which digit? (not incl thumb)
5th
but they are the least stabile
least mobile CMC joint is at which digit? (not incl thumb)
2nd & 3rd digits
but they are the most stabile
function of the CMC joints are to
form palmar arches
function of palmar arches
- to permit optimal function of the hand
- allows the hand and palm to conform to an object
anatomy of the palmar arch
2 transverse connected by a longitudinal arch
proximal transverse of the palmar arch
- relatively fixed
- level of distal carpals
keystone of the proximal transverse of the palmar arch
capitate
distal transverse of the palmar arch
- more mobile
- level of the metacarpal heads
keystone of the distal transverse of the palmar arch
3rd metacarpal
longitudinal palmar arch consists of
4 metacarpals and proximal carpals
carpal tunnel consists of
carpals flexor retinaculum transverse carpal ligament 9 tendons Median nerve
9 tendons of the carpal tunnel
4 FDS
4 FDP
1 FPL
purpose of the flexor retinaculum (that helps form the carpal tunnel)
supports the flexor tendons so they do not bow
