The TMC joint is a synovial joint between the trapezium bone of the wrist and the metacarpal bone at the base of the thumb. This joint is a so-called saddle joint (articulatio sellaris), unlike the CMC joints of the other four fingers which are ellipsoid joints. [17] This means that the surfaces of the TMC joint are both concave and convex.
Osteoarthritis is most common at the base of thumb and is usually treated with pain pills, splinting or steroid injections. [2] Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common disorder of the hand. This disorder results from compression of the median nerve in the wrist.
A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]
A scaphoid fracture is a break of the scaphoid bone in the wrist. [1] Symptoms generally includes pain at the base of the thumb which is worse with use of the hand. [2] The anatomic snuffbox is generally tender and swelling may occur. [2] Complications may include nonunion of the fracture, avascular necrosis of the proximal part of the bone ...
Symptoms of Bennett fracture are instability of the CMC joint of the thumb, accompanied by pain and weakness of the pinch grasp. Characteristic signs include pain, swelling, and ecchymosis around the base of the thumb and thenar eminence, and especially over the CMC joint of the thumb. Physical examination demonstrates instability of the CMC ...
The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve, [2] [3] from spinal roots C6 and C7. [4] All other major extensor muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior compartment (the extensor digitorum , extensor carpi radialis brevis , extensor carpi ulnaris , and extensor digiti minimi ) are ...
The next joint, moving closer to the hand, is the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. The thumb differs by only having two bones and one interphalangeal joint. [10] The injured finger may be examined to determine where the pain is worst. [3] If the finger is sprained or dislocated, pain will be worse at the joint rather than the bone. [3]
The distal (tip) finger bones are divided into tuft (the very tip of the bone, at the end of each finger), shaft (the thinner middle section), and base. The rest of the finger bones (the middle finger bones, and the proximal or innermost finger bones) are divided into base, shaft, and condyle (outer end). Extensive tendons surround the joints ...
