minus the tarsals, what are the other bones of the foot?
- metatarsals 1-5
- proximal phalanges 1-5
- middle phalanges 2-5
- distal phalanges 1-5
what are the movements of distal radio-ulnar joint?
(assists proximal RU joint)
- supination
- pronation
what is the function of the inferior tibio-fibular joint (syndesmosis)?
no movements but essential for stability of ankle, keeping lateral malleolus close to talus
what are the components of the distal radio-ulnar joint?
- fibrous capsule
- anterior and posterior RU ligaments (weak
- sacciform recess within join to accommodate turning
what does the inf/ TF ligament form?
posterior wall for talus (trochlea) - “malleolar mortise”
what are the components of the inferior tibio-fibular joint?
- interosseous membrane and TF ligament
- anterior and posterior TF ligament
- inferior TF ligament
- all strong ligaments
what are movements of the wrist (radiocarpal) joint?
- flexion, extension
- adbuction, adduction
- (some) circumduction
what are movements of the ankle joint (talocrural articulation)?
- dorsiflexion
- plantar flexion (more unstable due to narrow trochlea)
what type of joint is the wrist?
condyloid
what type of joint is the ankle?
hinge
the distal end of radius and articular discs of RU join articulates with which bones?
proximal carpal bones (except pisiform):
- scaphoid
- lunate
- triquetrum
what does the talus articulate with?
- distal end of tibia
- med. and lat. malleolus
- fibula
what ligament prevents dislocation during eversion of foot?
medial deltoid ligament
what are the ligaments of the wrist?
- collateral (radial and ulnar)
- radiocarpal (palmar and dorsal)
what are the main FLEXORS of wrist joint?
-flexor carpi ulnaris and radialis
what are the attachements of flexor carpi ulnaris?
- medial epicondyle of humers
DISTAL
- carpal bones (pisiform, hamate) and 5th metacarpal
what nerve is flexor carpi ulnaris supplied by?
ulnar
what are the attachments of flexor carpi radialis?
- medial epicondyle of humerus
DISTAL
- base of 2nd metacarpal
