lecture 13: anterior forearm and hand Flashcards
know the elements of the radius and ulna
styloid processes heads ext
explain the projection of the styloid process of the ulna
projects from medial side (palpated medially and extends posterioly)
is the dorsal tubercle located psoterior or anterior
posterior
how many radioulnar joints are there
3
what are the 3 radioulnar jpints
proximal
middle
distal
what type of joint is the proximal radioulnar jt
synovial pivot
what makes the proximal RU jt a pivot
annular ligament
the radius or the ulna moves in supination/pronation
the radius moves reltaive to ulna
what type of joint is the middle RU jt
solid, syndesmosis (no articular cartilage)
what makes up the middle RU jt
interosseus membrane
what is the function of the interosseus membrane
keeps both shafts together under tendion
important for muscle attachments
what type of joint is the distal RU jt
synovial pivot
(doesal and ventral radioulnar lig)
where is the annular lig of the elbow found
proximal RU jt
where are the ventral and dorsal radioulnar ligaments of the elbow found
distal
what are the movements possible at the radioulnar joints
pronation and supination
know the difference btween pronation and supination
,
explain the movement of the radius during ponarion
the ulna is locked in the humerus therefore the radius rotates over the fixed ulna
(moves obliquely) so that the head of the radius moves medially)
only the BLANK moves during pronation and supination
RADIUS
explain the movement of the distal end of the radius during RU movement
only the radius moves during pronation and supination with the distal end pivoting around ulnar head
how many carpal bones
8
how many metacarpals
5
what are the bones of the palm
metacarpas
what are the aspects of the metacarpals
head body and base
where does the base of the metacarpals sit
prxomial to the carpas
phalanges make up the blank
fingers
how many phalanges are there in digets 2-5
3 (middle, distal and proximal)
how many phalanges are there in thumb
proximal and sital
how many rows of carpal bones
8 bones in two rows (proximal and distal)
what are the carpal bones in the proximal row, from lateral to medial
scaphoid
lunate
triquetrium
pisiform
which carpal bone lies most laterally
scaphoid
what are the carpal bones in the distal row from medial to lateral
hamate
capitate
trapezoid
trapezium
what carpal bone is a sesmoid bone
pisiform
what is the anatomical aspect of the hammate
hook of the hammate
what fills in the medial gap in the hand
triangular fibrocartilagenous complex TFCC
the intercarpal joints are what type
synovial, plane/gliding
what is the most common wrist injury
scaphoid fracture (FOOSH)
compromision vasculatorue
what type of joint it the wrist joint
synovial
condylloid/ellipsoidal
what are the articulations of the wrist joint
articulations between distal radius, TFCC and proximal row of carpals
the articulations of the wrist joint is between distal radius, TFCC and proximal row of carpals (all of them)
false, all except pisiform
what is the articular disk in the wrist
TFCC
TRUE OR FALSE: THERE IS no direct contact between ulna and carpal bones
true, thats why we have the TFCC
which bone artilates most with the wrist
carpal and radius
true or false: ulna has a lot of contact in the wrist joint
false, raddius
since wrist joint is condyllois that means it has what type of movement
biaxial
what are the movements possible at the wrist joint because of the condylloid joint
extension/flexion
abduction/adduction
what is another name for abduction of the wrist
radial deviation
what is another name for adduction of the wrist
ulnar deviation (toward midline)
what is the ROM in ulnar deviation greater
beacuse of the TFCC (squishy)
what are the important lkigaments at the wrist
ulnar and radial collateral ligaments
what motion fdoes the radial collateral ligament limit
ulnar deviation
what motion does the ulnar colalteral ligament limit
radial deviateion
