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.
