Joints Of The Hand Flashcards
radiocarpal joint articulation
distal end of radius and articular disc with proximal row of carpal bones (except pisiform)
radiocarpal joint type
condyloid synovial
radiocarpal joint joint capsule
fibrous layer of joint capsule surrounds joint and attaches to distal ends of radius and ulna and proximal row of carpal bones
lined by synovial membrane
radiocarpal joint ligaments
anterior and posterior ligaments strengthen fibrous capsule
ulnar collateral ligament attaches to styloid process of ulna and triquetram
radial collateral ligament attaches to styloid process of radius and scaphoid
radiocarpal joint movements
flexion/ extension
abduction/adduction
circumduction
nerve supply of radiocarpal joint
anterior interosseous branch of median nerve
posterior interosseous branch of radial nerve
dorsal and deep branches of ulnar nerve
carpal (intercarpal) joint type
plane synovial joint
carpal (intercarpal)joint articulation
between carpal bones of proximal row; joints between carpal bones of distal row
midcarpal joint: synovial joint between proximal and distal rows of carpal bones
pisiform joint:synovial joint between pisiform and triquetram
carpal (intercarpal) joint joint capsule
fibrous layer of joint capsule surrounds joints
lined by synovial membrane
pisiform joint is separate from other carpal joints
carpal joint ligaments
carpal bones united by anterior, posterior, and interosseous ligaments
carpal joint movements
small amount of gliding movement possible
flexion and abduction of hand occur at midcarpal joint
carpal joint nerve supply
anterior interosseous branch of median nerve
posterior interosseous branch of radial nerve
dorsal and deep branches of ulnar nerve
carpometacarpal(CMC) and intermetacarpal (IM) joint type
plane synovial joints
except for CMC joint of thumb: saddle synovial joint
carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joint articulation
carpals and metacarpals with each other
CMC joint of thumb between trapezium and base of 1st metacarpal
carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joint capsule
fibrous layer of joint capsule surrounds joints
lined on internal surface by synovial membrane
carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joints ligaments
bones united by anterior, posterior, and interosseous ligaments
carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joint movements
flexion extension and abduction adduction of CMC joint of 1st digit
almost no movement of 2nd and 3rd digits
4th digit slightly mobile
5th digit very mobile
carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joint nerve supply
anterior interosseous branch of median nerve
posterior interosseous branch of radial nerve
dorsal and deep branches of ulnar nerve
limiting structures of flexion at wrist
ligaments: posterior radiocarpal and posterior part of joint capsule
structures limiting extension at wrist
ligaments:anterior radiocarpal and anterior part of joint capsule
bony apposition between radius and carpal bones
