What bones make up the radiocarpal joint?

The radiocarpal joint is a synovial joint formed by the articulation between the distal radius and the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum as well as the soft tissue structures that hold the joint together.

What bones are involved in the wrist joint?

The bones comprising the wrist include the distal ends of the radius and ulna, 8 carpal bones, and the proximal portions of the 5 metacarpal bones (see the images below).

What are the carpal bones?

The carpal bones are bones of the wrist that connect the distal aspects of the radial and ulnar bones of the forearm to the bases of the five metacarpal bones of the hand. There are eight carpal bones, which divide into two rows: a proximal row and a distal row.

Is the radiocarpal joint a hinge joint?

Pivot and hinge joints are functionally classified as uniaxial joints. Condyloid joints are found where the shallow depression of one bone receives a rounded bony area formed by one or two bones. Condyloid joints are found at the base of the fingers (metacarpophalangeal joints) and at the wrist (radiocarpal joint).

Is the ulna part of the radiocarpal joint?

It attaches at the ulna and the triquetrum. Like the radial collateral joint, it prevents excessive side-to-side movement of the wrist.

What are wrist bones called?

Your wrist is made up of eight small bones (carpal bones) plus two long bones in your forearm — the radius and the ulna. The most commonly injured carpal bone is the scaphoid bone, located near the base of your thumb.

What type of joint is the ankle joint?

Overview. The ankle joint is a hinged synovial joint with primarily up-and-down movement (plantarflexion and dorsiflexion). However, when the range of motion of the ankle and subtalar joints (talocalcaneal and talocalcaneonavicular) is taken together, the complex functions as a universal joint (see the image below).

Which type of joint is present in wrist and ankle?

(1) Gliding joints move against each other on a single plane. Major gliding joints include the intervertebral joints and the bones of the wrists and ankles. (2) Hinge joints move on just one axis. These joints allow for flexion and extension.

What is scaphoid fracture?

A scaphoid (navicular) fracture is a break in one of the small bones of the wrist. This type of fracture occurs most often after a fall onto an outstretched hand. Symptoms of a scaphoid fracture typically include pain and tenderness in the area just below the base of the thumb.

Are the carpal bones sesamoid?

Anatomical terms of bone

The pisiform bone (/ˈpaɪsɪfɔːrm/ or /ˈpɪzɪfɔːrm/), also spelled pisiforme (from the Latin pisifomis, pea-shaped), is a small knobbly, sesamoid bone that is found in the wrist. It forms the ulnar border of the carpal tunnel.

Where is the Pisiform bone?

The pisiform can be found on the anteromedial side of the wrist in the proximal row of carpal bones. It is a small sesamoid bone, enveloped in the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon and can be easily palpated from the exterior.

What type of bone is metatarsal?

The five metatarsals are dorsally convex long bones consisting of a shaft or body, a base (proximally), and a head (distally). The body is prismoid in form, tapers gradually from the tarsal to the phalangeal extremity, and is curved longitudinally, so as to be concave below, slightly convex above.

Where is the 5th metacarpal bone located?

The fifth metacarpal bone (metacarpal bone of the little finger or pinky finger) is the most medial and second-shortest of the metacarpal bones.
