The metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint is classified as a condyloid synovial joint. It connects each digit to the palm. Articulating Surfaces. The metacarpophalangeal joint consists of an articulation between two bones of the hand: Metacarpal head – large articulating surface, convex shape.
The metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) are situated between the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges of the fingers. [1] These joints are of the condyloid kind, formed by the reception of the rounded heads of the metacarpal bones into shallow cavities on the proximal ends of the proximal phalanges. [1]
The metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) are a collection of condyloid joints that connect the metacarpus, or palm of the hand, to the fingers. There are five separate metacarpophalangeal joints that connect each metacarpal bone to the corresponding proximal phalanx of each finger.
The metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP joint), or knuckle, is where the finger bones meet the hand bones. At the MCP joint, the fingers can move in multiple directions. They can bend, straighten, spread apart and move together. MCP joints are important for both pinching and gripping.
The metacarpophalangeal joints connect the metacarpal bones to the proximal phalanges of the digits. They are responsible for a wide range of movements, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction.
The metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints are diarthrodial joints where the large convex heads of the distal aspect of the metacarpals articulate with the concave-shaped proximal aspect of each phalange. The articulating surface of each metacarpal head and proximal phalange is composed of hyaline cartilage.
Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) Joint arthritis typically presents with pain, swelling, and limited motion. Inflammatory etiology is much more common than osteoarthritis.
The metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint, also known as “the knuckle,” is formed by the metacarpal head and proximal phalanx articulation (see Image. Metacarpophalangeal Articulation). This multiaxial joint allows flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.
The metacarpal bones articulate with the carpal bones with their proximal ends (bases), and with the proximal phalanges via their distal ends (heads). They are labeled with numbers 1-5 going in the radio-ulnar direction. This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the metacarpal bones.
The metacarpophalangeal joints are formed by the articulations between the heads of the five metacarpal bones with the proximal phalanges. They are condyloid synovial joints which allow movements such as flexion-extension and adduction-abduction (and some rotation during movements such as pinching and grasping).
