wednesday lecture Flashcards
Radiocarpal joint
- distal radius with the scaphoid, lunate and TFCC
- Condyloid, synovial joint
- All motions (Flexion, Extension, Radial and Ulnar deviation)
Intercarpal joint
- plane synovial joint
- between the two rows of carpal bones
- one third of wrist extension occurs here, half of wrist flexion occurs here
Ligaments of the wrist joint
- anterior and posterior ligament
- collateral ligament (Ulnar and Radial)
The ulnar and radial collateral ligament of the wrist
- ulnar collateral: attaches to the ulnar styloid process and triquetrum
- radial collateral: attaches to radial styloid process to scaphoid
What is ulnar deviation limited by?
Radial collateral ligament
What is radial deviation limit by?
Ulnar collateral ligament
Ligaments of the midcarpal joint
- anterior and posterior
- interosseous
Antebrachial fasica
- posterior thickening (Extensor retinaculum)
- anterior thickening (Flexor Retinaculum and palmar fascia)
Fracture of the scaphoid
- from a fall on an outstretched hand
- The blood supply to this bone is bad (decreased) so it takes longer to heal
Colles fracture
- “dinner fork deformity”
- fracture of the distal radius with posterior displacement of the fragment
function of the wrist
provide stable base for the hand
what 9 tendons are in the carpal tunnel? what nerve?
- Flexor Pollici Longus (1)
- Flexor Digitorum Superificalis (4)
- Flexor Digitorum Profundus (4)
- Median nerve
Proximal row of carpals:
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform
Distal Row of carpals:
Trapezuim, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate
Phalanges Parts
Distal, Middle and Proximal
Metacarpal parts
head, shart and base
(head is by the base of the phalanges
Superifical layer of the flexors
Pronator Teres
Flexor Carpi Radials
Palmaris Longus
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
Pronator Teres origin
Coronoid Process of Ulna
Medial epicondly of humerus
Pronator Teres insertion
lateral surface of the radius
Pronator teres innervation
Median Nerve
