Lecture 10 - Wrist/hand Flashcards
Movements at the wrist (7)
Distal radioulnar
Radiocarpal
Intercarpal
Midcarpal
Carpometacarpal
Metacarpalphalangeal
Interphalangeal
Type of joint for distal radioulnar
Uniaxial pivot joint
Distal radioulnar joint - resting position/close packed position/capsular pattern
R.p = 10d of supination
Close p = 5d of supination
Cp = full ROM, pain at extremes of rotation
Type of joint for radiocarpal
Biaxial ellipsoid joint
Radiocarpal joint - resting position/close packed/capsular pattern
RP = neutral with slight ulnar deviation
Close packed = extension with radial deviation
Cap p = flexion and extension limited equally

What is TFCC
Triangular fibrocartilage complex
MOI of TFCC
Compression of the ulnar side and rotation OR excessive radial deviation stretching the TFCC (ex: from swinging a hammer)
Normal functional hand movements
40d flexion
40d extension
15d radial deviation
20d ulnar deviation
4 types of sympathetic changes in nails in observation
- Vasomotor
- Sudomotor
- Pilomotor
- Trophic
List the common hand/wrist deformities
- Benediction hand
- Drop wrist
- Beau’s line
- Mallet finger
- Bouchard’s nodes
- Heberden’s nodes
- Osteoarthritis
- Swan neck deformity
- Boutonniere deformity
- Ulnar drift
- Clubbing
- Ganglion or small cyst swelling
What’s Benediction hand deformity?
Hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal joint and flexion of the interphalangeal joints
What is ulnar drift?
Results in ulnar deviation of the digits
What is swan neck deformity?
Extension of the proximal interphalangeal joint
What is mallet finger?
Rupture or avulsion of the extensor tendon -> flexion of the distal phalanx consistent
