Q

Intercarple joints are what kind of joint and what sort of movement?

A
  • Plane type of joints, connecting the carpal bones with each other.
  • Gliding movements between the carpal bones, which occur together with the movements of the Radiocarpal (wrist) joint and augment them and increase the overall range of mobility and flexibility
  • Palmarflexion / Dorsiflexion at the Midcarpal joint, aiding the wrist joint and initiating it moves. Some investigators say that the Dorsiflexion and radial abduction occur in this joint only. Proximal row is more flexible than the distal one.

Q

Upper Ankle (Talocrural) (Ankle) Joint is what type of joint and what articuluates with what?

A
  • Hinge type Synovial joint. 1 axis of movement.
  • Between the Malleolar Mortise (Formed by the Malleolar articular facet of tibia on medial malleolus, Inferior articular surface of tibia & Malleolar articular facet of Fibula
    on lateral malleolus) and the Trochlea of Talus with the Medial & Lateral Malleolar facets.
56
Q

upper ankle joint articulation between the tibia, fibula, and trochlea? # places

A

So the tibia articulates with the talus in 2 places:

A. Inferior articular surface of tibia forms the roof of the Malleolar mortise, articulating with the trochlea of talus, transferring the whole body weight to the talus

B. The medial Malleolar facet of medial malleolus articulates with the medial Malleolar facet of talus

The fibula articulates with the talus in 1 place:
The Malleolar articular facet of lateral malleolus of fibula articulates with the lateral Malleolar facet of trochlea

62
Q

Talocalcaneonavicular Joint is what kind of joint? 2 types

A
  • The Talocalcaneal part is Plane type of joint (Middle & Anterior calcaneal articular surfaces of
    Talus/calcaneus)

-the Talonavicular part is Spheroidal
(Ball & Socket) type of joint that functions as Pivot joint due to the many ligaments that restricts it (Head of Talus and the Talar articular surface on the
Navicular bone)

63
Q
