Ligaments of wrist. Anterior view. (Radial collateral visible at center left.) The radial collateral ligament (external lateral ligament, radial carpal collateral ligament) extends from the tip of the styloid process of the radius and attaches to the radial side of the scaphoid (formerly navicular bone of the hand), immediately adjacent to its ...
Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The distal radioulnar articulation[ 1 ] (also known as the distal radioulnar joint, [ 2 ] or inferior radioulnar joint [ 1 ][ 3 ]) is a synovial pivot joint between the two bones in the forearm; the radius and ulna. It is one of two joints between the radius and ulna, the other being the proximal ...
By detaching the radial collateral ligament from distal to proximal, a periosteal sleeve can be preserved. [46] In this way, the radial collateral band of the radial digit will function as the absent radial collateral ligament of the preserved ulnar thumb.
The triquetral is one of the eight carpal bones of the hand. It is a three-faced bone found within the proximal row of carpal bones. Situated beneath the pisiform, it is one of the carpal bones that form the carpal arch, within which lies the carpal tunnel. [3]: 708. The triquetral bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an ...
The radial collateral ligament is attached to the lateral epicondyle below the common extensor tendon. Less distinct than the ulnar collateral ligament, this ligament blends with the annular ligament of the radius and its margins are attached near the radial notch of the ulna. [8]
The head of the radius has been sawn off and the bone dislodged from the ligament. The proximal radioulnar articulation, also known as the proximal radioulnar joint (PRUJ), is a synovial pivot joint between the circumference of the head of the radius and the ring formed by the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament.
Soft tissue injury. A soft tissue injury is the damage of muscles, ligaments and tendons throughout the body. Common soft tissue injuries usually occur from a sprain, strain, a one-off blow resulting in a contusion or overuse of a particular part of the body. Soft tissue injuries can result in pain, swelling, bruising and loss of function.
Joints of the hand, X-ray Interphalangeal ligaments and phalanges. Right hand. Deep dissection. Posterior (dorsal) view. The PIP joint exhibits great lateral stability. Its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior diameter and its thick collateral ligaments are tight in all positions during flexion, contrary to those in the metacarpophalangeal joint.
