Wrist Complex Biomechanics - 3 Flashcards
close chained movement of humeroulnar like hands on table causes blank to move instead of blank
ulna, radius
degrees of freedom at humeroulnar joint
one (hinge)
capitate is the blank of the hand to keep it blank
keystone, supported/stable
central pillar effect in hand is due to what bone
capitate
carpals allow blank movements
flexion/extension, ulnar/radial deviation
aaos flexion value
80
aaos extension value
70
radial deviation aaos value
20
ulnar deviation aaos value
30
rc joint has a single blank surface that accomodates forearm and hand position
biconvex
this is in the proximal carpal row and is a sesamoid bone but is not included in the rc joint
pisiform
fcu blank is increased by pisiform
moment arm
rc joint contributes to blank and blank more than blank and blank
flexion/ulnar dev, extension/radial dev
no blank act directly on the blank joint
rc
ic joints are between all blank bones
carpal
ic joints allow minimal movement to accomodate blank and blank positioning
hand/wrist
ic joints are bound by blank and have little give
ligaments
ic ulnar side is more blank than radial
mobile
blank ligaments are stronger than blank ligaments at ic joints hence why we extend wrists extinctively when we fall
palmar, dorsal
most commonly dislocated carpal due to instability palmarly
lunate
