Session 10 Flashcards
Which bone is not part of the wrist joint
Ulna
Carpal bones form a
Convex surface which articulates with convex surface of radius and triangular fibrocartilage
What type of joint is wrist
Ellipsoid synovial joint- movement in flexion, extension, adduction, abduction
2 axis
What is the wrist joint stabilised by
Dorsal and palmar radiocarpal ligaments (ensure hand follows radius during pronation and supination)
Ulnar and radial collateral ligaments
Muscles responsible for flexion of the wrist
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Flexor carpi radialis
Palmaris longus
Muscles responsible for extension of the wrist
Extensor carpi radialis longus
Extensor carpi radialis brevis
Extensor carpi ulnaris
Wrist adduction produced by
Extensor carpi ulnaris
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Abduction at wrist is produced by
Extensor carpi radialis longus
Extensor carpi radialis brevis
Flexor carpi radialis
Bones of hand
Scaphoid Lunate Triquetrum Pisiform Trapezium Trapezoid Carpitate Hamate
Hamate has what on palmar surface
Projection called the hook which forms ulnar border of carpal tunnel and radial border of Guyon’s canal
Blood supply of scaphoid?
Dorsal carpal branch of radial artery
Retrograde flow
Scaphoid fractures hence have high rate of non-union
Each metacarpal consists of
Base shaft and head
Medial and lateral surfaces are concave and accommodate interossei muscles
What is radial abduction
Continuation of extension beyond the anatomical position in the same plane of the palm
What is palmar abduction
Raising thumb in sagittal plane, perpendicular to palm
Difference between intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the hand
Intrinsic- originate within the hand and insert with the hand
Extrinsic- originate within the forearm and insert within the hand
4 compartments of intrinsic muscles
Thenar compartment- abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis
Adductor compartment- adductor pollicis
Hypothenar compartment- abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi, opponens digiti minimi
central compartment- lumbricals, interossei, palmaris brevis
Thenar compartment-
abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis
Adductor compartment-
adductor pollicis
Hypothenar compartment-
abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi, opponens digiti minimi
central compartment-
lumbricals, interossei, palmaris brevis
Thenar eminence supplied by
Median nerve, except deep head of flexor pollicis brevis supplied by ulnar
2 heads of adductor pollicis
Transverse head and oblique head
