Study Notes
Hand and Wrist Bones & Joints
- The hand and wrist are composed of numerous bones and joints.
- Knowledge checks throughout the text test understanding of bone and joint identification using images.
Carpal Bones
- Two rows of carpal bones: proximal and distal.
- Mnemonic devices ("Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle," etc.) aid in remembering carpal bone order.
- Specific carpal bones include the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
- The carpal sulcus is the passageway for the median nerve and flexor tendons; median nerve compression is carpal tunnel syndrome.
Forearm Anatomy
- Radius: Proximal end includes the head, neck, and radial tuberosity; distal end has the radial styloid process and ulnar notch.
- Ulna: Proximal end features the olecranon process, trochlear notch (semilunar notch), and coronoid process with radial notch. Distal end includes the head and ulnar styloid process.
- Proximal and distal radioulnar joints connect the radius and ulna.
Elbow Anatomy
- Humerus articulates with the radius and ulna at the elbow.
- Anatomical landmarks include the capitulum, lateral and medial epicondyles, radial and coronoid fossae, trochlea, and trochlear sulcus.
- Lateral and AP projections of the elbow show various bony landmarks.
- Fat pads (anterior, posterior, supinator) are visualized radiographically, and their displacement indicates elbow injury or effusion.
Joint Movements
- Wrist joint allows various movements.
- Forearm permits pronation and supination.
- Elbow performs flexion, extension, and some rotational movement.
Location of Bones
- The radius is located on the thumb side of the forearm.
- The head of the radius is at the proximal end of the forearm.
- Styloid processes are located at the distal ends of the radius and ulna.
- Medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the humerus near the elbow joint.
