  2. Interphalangeal joints of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphalangeal_joints_of...

    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.

  3. Joints of hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joints_of_hand

    The joints are: In the wrist there is the radiocarpal joint between the radius and carpus. Between the carpal bones are the intercarpal articulations and the midcarpal joint. The carpometacarpal joint connects the carpal bones to the metacarpus or metacarpal bones which are joined at the intermetacarpal articulations.

  4. Metacarpophalangeal joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacarpophalangeal_joint

    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 ]

  5. Hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand

    A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and lemurs.A few other vertebrates such as the koala (which has two opposable thumbs on each "hand" and fingerprints extremely similar to human fingerprints) are often described as having "hands" instead of paws on their front limbs.

  6. Palmar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_plate

    In the human hand, palmar or volar plates (also referred to as palmar or volar ligaments) [1] are found in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints, where they reinforce the joint capsules, enhance joint stability, and limit hyperextension.

  7. Collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_ligaments_of...

    In human anatomy, the radial (RCL) and ulnar (UCL) collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) of the hand are the primary stabilisers of the MCP joints. [1] A collateral ligament flanks each MCP joint - one on either side. Each attaches proximally at the head of the metacarpal bone, and distally at the base of the phalynx.

  8. Annular ligaments of fingers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_ligaments_of_fingers

    In human anatomy, the annular ligaments of the fingers, often referred to as A pulleys, are the annular part of the fibrous sheathes of the fingers.Four or five such annular pulleys, together with three cruciate pulleys, form a fibro-osseous tunnel on the palmar aspect of the hand through which passes the deep and superficial flexor tendons.

  9. Intermetacarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermetacarpal_joints

    The intermetacarpal joints are in the hand formed between the metacarpal bones. The bases of the second, third, fourth and fifth metacarpal bones articulate with one another by small surfaces covered with cartilage. The metacarpal bones are connected together by dorsal, palmar, and interosseous ligaments.
