  2. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    Joints of the hand, X-ray. The bones in each carpal row interlock with each other and each row can therefore be considered a single joint. In the proximal row a limited degree of mobility is possible, but the bones of the distal row are connected to each other and to the metacarpal bones by strong ligaments that make this row and the metacarpus a functional entity.

    Joints can also be classified based on their anatomy or on their biomechanical properties. According to the anatomic classification, joints are subdivided into simple and compound, depending on the number of bones involved, and into complex and combination joints: [19] Simple joint: two articulation surfaces (e.g. shoulder joint, hip joint)

  4. 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.

  5. Palmar intercarpal ligaments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_intercarpal_ligaments

    The palmar intercarpal ligaments are fibrous bands that extend transversely across the palmar surfaces of the carpal bones, connecting adjacent carpals. These are the ligaments that define the structure of the ligamentous palmar arch .

    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.

    The dorsal intercarpal ligament consists of a series of fibrous bands that extend transversely across the dorsal surfaces of the carpal bones, connecting them to each other. v t

  9. Wrist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist

    In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; [1] [2] (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus [2] and; (3) the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of ...
