Q

Radial/ Ulnar Deviation

A

*Ex: With Radial Deviation
-Carpal complex slides ULNARLY
on the radius
-Flexion of PROXIMAL carpal rows
-Extension of DISTAL carpal rows

26
Q

FOOSH
(Fall on an Outstretched Hand)

A

Most common trauma to the radiocarpal joint

27
Q

Kienbock’s Disease

A

-Avascular necrosis of the lunate
-Usually seen in relation with ulnar negative variance
-Due to abnormal force distribution across the radiocarpal

28
Q

Ulnar Positive Variance

A

-POSITIVE variance: often seen after a distal radius fx with healing in a shortened position
-Present with pain at end range ulnar deviation / pronation

29
Q

Dorsal Intercalated Segmental Instability (DISI)

A

-injury to ligaments stabilizing lunate + scaphoid
-Scaphoid (flex), lunate (extend)
-Subluxation of scaphoid occurs with compressive loading of wrist

30
Q

Volar Intercalated Segmental Instability (VISI)

A

-lunate and triquetrum lose ligamentous stability

31
Q

Scapholunate
Advanced Collapse
Wrist (SLAC)

A

-Degenerative changes at the radioscaphoid joint
-progression to intercarpal joints
-capitate can eventually sublux

32
Q

A

Comprised of:
-5 digits
-19 bones distal to the carpus

33
Q

Digits include:

A

-Carpometacarpal joint (CMC)
-Metacarpophalangeal joint (MP)
-2 interphalangeal joint (IP); proximal and distal
-Thumb has only one (IP)

36
Q

Thumb Structures

A

1st CMC Joint
Saddle joint with 2 DOF
Flex/ ext
ABd/ ADd
Primary function is opposition = abd followed by flex followed by add
Almost all Prehension;
Fine motor and grasp

37
Q

CMC arthritis

A

-Most common pathology
-Trapezium and 1st metacarpal affected due to degenerative changes
-Pain with prehension
Common elective surgery of the hand

38
Q

CMC - Deep Transverse Metacarpal Ligament

A

-Base of metacarpal and distal carpal row
-Spans btw 2nd and 4th metacarpal heads
-Helps w/ CMC stab and limits abd
Blends with ant. joint capsule of e/digit
-Prevents entrapment of the FDP with MCP flex and maintains the interossei in a position dorsal to the ligament

39
Q

CMC - Opponens Digiti Minimi (ODM)

A

-only muscle to exclusively impact movement of a CMC joint
-flex and rotate the 5th metacarpal along it long axis
Acts on CMC joint ALONE

40
Q

Palmer Arches of Hand

A

Proximal, distal and longitudinal arches

Allow palm and digits to conform to objects being held
-Max surface contact
-Greatest stab
-Increasing sensory feedback

41
Q

Q

Extensor Mechanism Influence on MCP
and IP Joint Function

A

ED contracts=tension created on sagittal bands
ProPhalanx rolls and glides dorsally on MC
Interossei, dorsal, volar, lumbricals help IP extension

Q

Functional Position of the Hand

A

Wrist in slight extension 20deg
Slight ulnar deviation 10deg
Fingers moderate flexion at MCP 45deg and PIP jts 30deg
Slight flexion at DIP jts

55
Q

2 categories of Prehension

A

Power Grip: involves full hand

Precision Handling: utilizes finger and thumb

56
Q

Power grip - Cylindrical

A

-Finger flexors primary
-FDP main contributor

57
Q

Power grip - Spherical

A

-Similar to cylindrical
-Fingers in more ABd.
-Interossei more active in this grip

58
Q

Power grip - Hook grip

A

-FDS, FDP,
-No thumb involvement
-Often allows greater endurance

59
Q

Power grip - Lateral prehension

A

-static hold of an object btw 2 fingers

60
Q

Precision Handling - Tip to Tip

A

-Similarities in muscle activity to pad to pad
