Wrist & Hand 1 Flashcards
Proximal Carpal Row
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform
- Bones are loosely joined by ligaments
Distal Carpal Row
Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate Hamate
- Bones are tightly bound by ligaments which provide a rigid and stable base for articulation with the metacarpal bones
Radius Bony Landmarks
Radial Styloid Process
Lister’s Tubercle
Ulnar Notch (DRUJ)
Carpal Articular Surface
Ulna Bony Landmarks
Ulnar Styloid Process
Ulnar Head (DRUJ)
Radiocarpal Joint
Synovial - ellipsoid joint
Between Radius, Scaphoid, & Lunate
Radiocarpal Joint (DOF)
2 degrees
Radiocarpal Joint (Motions)
Flexion & Extension
Radial Deviation
Ulnar Deviation
Midcarpal Joint
Synovial - ellipsoid joint
Between Proximal Carpal Row and Distal Carpal Row
Midcarpal Joint (DOF)
2 degrees
Midcarpal Joint (Motions)
Flexion & Extension
Radial Deviation
Ulnar Deviation
Intercarpal Joints
Synovial - irregular plane joints between adjacent carpal bones
Intercarpal Joints (contributes)
contributes to gliding between carpals during radoiocarpal & midcarpal bones
What dictates radoiocarpal motion?
The shape of the distal radius
The distal end of the radius has a:
25 degree ulnar tilt - ulnar dev > rad dev
10 degree palmar tilt - flexion > extension
What consists of a Ray?
Metacarpal + phalanges for each digit
What type of joint is the CMC joint at the Thumb I?
Saddle Joint
How many degrees of freedom is the CMC joint at the Thumb I?
2 degrees
What are the primary and secondary motions of the CMC joint at the Thumb I?
Primary:
- Flexion & Extension
- Abduction & Adduction
Secondary:
- Opposition & Reposition
