Wrist/hand BM Flashcards
Distal radio-ulnar joint
Convex head of ulna on concave radius
Osteokinematics of DRUJ
Pronation/supination
Distal radius over distal ulna
Pronation/supination of forearm
Simultaneous motion at three joints:
- humero-ulnar
- distal radio-ulnar
- proximal radio-ulnar
Pronation/supination arthrokinematics
- HRJ:radial fovea spins on capitulum
- PRUJ: radial head spins within ulnar notch
- DRUJ: radius rolls and glides in same direction on ulna
Wrist complex
- distal radio-ulnar joint
- radiocarpal j
- midcarpal j
- Intercarpal j
Radiocarpal Joint
Concave radius and ulna/TFCC
Convex proximal carpals (scaphoid, lunate, traquetrum
Where is the axial loading concentrated on the carpals
Scaphoid and lunate
Midcarpal joint
Joint separating proximal and distal rows
ROM for midcarpal joint
Extension > flexion
UD > RD
Extrinsic ligaments: palmar
Palmar ulnocarpal
Palmar radiocarpal
Palmar ulnocarpal
part of TFCC
Tightens with extension and ulnar deviation
Palmar radiocarpal
Tighten with extension
Stronger and thicker than dorsal radiocarpal ligaments
Extrinsic ligaments: dorsal
Radial collateral
Ulnar collateral dorsal radiocarpal
Radial collateral
- Styloid process to scaphoid and trapezium
- Thicker on palmar side
- Taut in ulnar deviation and extension
Ulnar collateral
- styloid process if the ulna
- tightens with radial deviation
Dorsal radiocarpal
- radius to scaphoid, lunate & triquetrum
- taut In flexion
Intrinsic ligaments: palmar
Palmar intercarpal
Palmar intercarpal
- Capitate to scaphoid and triquetrum
- help guide arthrokinematics
Intrinsic ligaments: dorsal
Dorsal intercarpal
