Scaphoid (“boat”) – ….. ….. ………
• Lunate (“moon”)
• Triquetrum (“3 cornered”)
• Pisiform (“pea”)
most commonly fractured
3 groups of bones: • Carpals, n=.... • Metacarpals, n=... • Phalanges, n=... • Cartilaginous at birth. • Ossified by .....-years-of-age

Trapezium (“Table”)
• Trapezoid (resembles trapezium)
• Capitate (“Head”)
• Hamate (“…. …..”)
Little hook
Condyloid radiocarpal joint
• Condyloid joint = oval articular surface of one
bone fits into complementary ……… in
another.
concavity
Wrist (Radiocarpal) joint
• Synovial (condyloid) joint between the distal end
of the radius and the articular disc overlying the
distal end of the ulna, and the …….,…….. And ……..
scaphoid, lunate
triquetrum.
Wrist (Radiocarpal) joint
Anterior & posterior ligaments strengthen the
……. ……
joint capsule
Wrist (Radiocarpal) joint
Movements?
Movements: flexion, extension, abduction,
adduction and circumduction.
Which has a greater range of motion?
Abduction ( radial deviation) or adduction (ulnar deviation)
WHY?
Abduction, ulnar styloid gets in the way
Palmar ………. and palmar …….. ligaments reinforce the wrist joint capsule.
radiocarpal
ulnocarpal
Dorsal ……… and radial and ulnar ……… ligaments
reinforce the wrist joint.
radiocarpal
collateral
What is the function of the deep transverse metacarpal ligament?
Bounds heads of metacarpals
Phalangeal ligaments
What is their function?
Strapping tendons to bone
What is the function of the extensor retinaculum?
Strapping down tendons
What is the function of the synovial sheaths?
Helps ligaments move independently
Flexor Retinaculum
Thickening of deep fascia that holds …… …… …… in
position at the wrist.
long flexor tendons
Flexor Retinaculum
Proximal border = ……. …….. …… crease on anterior wrist.
