Study Notes

Bone Classifications

  • Metacarpals are classified as long bones.
  • Carpal bones are classified as short bones.

Phalangeal Structures

  • Proximal phalanges articulate with the heads of the metacarpal bones.
  • Each hand contains 5 proximal, 4 middle, and 5 distal phalanges.

Joint Articulations

  • Carpal bones articulate with the bases of metacarpal bones, forming the carpometacarpal joint.
  • The metacarpophalangeal joint is formed by the head of each metacarpal.
  • The elbow joint includes three articulations: humeroulnar, humeroradial, and proximal radioulnar.

Elbow Anatomy

  • The capitulum of the distal humerus articulates with the radial head.
  • The trochlea of the distal humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna.
  • The ulna features the olecranon and coronoid processes at its proximal end.

Joint Movements

  • Interphalangeal joints allow for flexion and extension movements.
  • For a PA oblique projection, a finger should be rotated 45 degrees from the PA position.

Projections and Positioning

  • The hand must rest on the medial surface during lateral projection of the fourth or fifth digit.
  • For the lateral wrist projection, the elbow should be flexed 90 degrees and the wrist's medial surface should be in contact with the IR.
  • During the AP projection of the forearm, the elbow should be fully extended.
  • For the lateral forearm projection, the elbow must be flexed 90 degrees.

Central Ray Angles

  • A central ray directed 10 to 15 degrees medially or laterally may help delineate a fracture line on a PA projection of the wrist in ulnar deviation.

Special Projection

  • The Coyle method for the axiolateral elbow projection best demonstrates the radial head and capitulum when the central ray is directed 45 degrees toward the shoulder.

Identification of Metacarpals

  • Metacarpals are numbered 1 through 5, from thumb side to the little finger side.

Superimposition in Imaging

  • A lateral projection of the hand should demonstrate superimposed phalanges for accurate imaging.

Hand and Wrist Considerations

  • MCP joints and interphalangeal joints should appear open on PA projections for assessments.
