20
Q

surface features of hand and wrist

21
Q

A
  • attachments: hook of hamate, pisiform > trapezium, scaphoid
  • function:
    • thenar and hypothenar mm. attachment
    • maintains carpal arch
    • prevents bowstringing of flexor tendons
    • protects median n.
24
Q

triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)

A
  • articular disc: primary structure
    • triangular shape
    • shock absorption
    • like meniscus in knee (no good blood supply)
    • fibrocartilaginous: degenerates with overuse and aging
  • dorsal/volar radioulnar ligament
  • ulnar collateral ligament
  • ECU sheath
  • ulnotriquetral ligament
  • ulnolunate ligament
25
Q

compartments formed by extensor retinaculum and tendons found within each

28
Q

structure of palmar fascia and palmar digital sheaths

A
  • palmar fascia: continuous with antebrachial fascia
    • includes thenar fascia, hypothenar fascia, palmar aponeurosis
  • palmar digital sheaths: pulleys
    • annular: straight (A1-A5)
    • cruciate: crossed (C1-C3)
