Fractures of scaphoid can occur either with direct axial compression or with hyperextension of the wrist, such as a fall on the palm on an outstretched hand. Using the Herbert classification system, there are three main types of scaphoid fractures. 10%-20% of fractures are at the proximal pole, 60%-80% are at the waist (middle), and the ...
In humans, a single transverse palmar crease is a single crease that extends across the palm of the hand, formed by the fusion of the two palmar creases.Although it is found more frequently in persons with several abnormal medical conditions, it is not predictive of any of these conditions since it is also found in persons with no abnormal medical conditions.
Ectrodactyly, split hand, or cleft hand [1] (from Ancient Greek ἔκτρωμα (ektroma) 'miscarriage' and δάκτυλος (daktylos) 'finger') [2] involves the deficiency or absence of one or more central digits of the hand or foot and is also known as split hand/split foot malformation (SHFM). [3]
The two most common techniques for estimating bone age are based on a posterior-anterior x-ray of a patient's left hand, fingers, and wrist. [5] [17] The reason for imaging only the left hand and wrist are that a hand is easily x-rayed with minimal radiation [18] and shows many bones in a single view. [19]
On the palmar side, the carpus is concave and forms the carpal tunnel, which is covered by the flexor retinaculum. [2] The proximal row comprises the scaphoid , lunate , triquetral , and pisiform bones which articulate with the surfaces of the radius and distal carpal row, and thus constantly adapts to these mobile surfaces.
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.
Mutations in the fibrillin-2 gene, in chromosome 5q23, or the fibrillin-1 gene, at chromosome 15q21.1 Arachnodactyly (" spider fingers ") is a medical condition that is characterized by fingers and toes that are abnormally long and slender, in comparison to the palm of the hand and arch of the foot.
