Wrist and Hand Flashcards
wrist extension ROM
60-85
radial deviation
15-21
ulnar deviation
20-45
radiocarpal joint arthrokinematics
convex on concave= opposite
considered part of the distal radius, it serves as a shock absorber
TFCC
proximal radiocarpal joint allows more of what 2 motions
flexion
ulnar deviation
compression in the wrist
%’s
80- scaphoid and lunate
20- TFCC
associated with avascular necrosis, pt might be limited in?
ulnar deviation
long ulna
thinner TFCC
less ulnar deviation
ulnar positive variance
short ulna
ulnar negative variance
avascular necrosis of the lunate has been associates with
ulnar negative variance
proximal carpal row favors
flexion and ulnar deviation
distal carpal row favors
extension and radial deviation
Connect carpals to radius and ulna
– Weaker but better potential for healing
extrinsic ligs
Interconnect the carpals
Stronger but have to rely on synovial fluid for nutrition
intrinsic ligs
