What’s the hand? Definitions of hand: verb: place into the hands or custody of noun: ability noun: a card player in a game of bridge noun: a hired laborer on a farm or ranch noun: a member of the crew of a ship noun: a position given by its location to the side of an object noun: a rotating pointer on the face of a timepiece noun: a round of applause to signify approval noun: a unit of length equal to 4 inches; used in measuring
horses noun: one of two sides of an issue noun: physical assistance noun: something written by hand noun: terminal part of the forelimb in certain vertebrates (e.g.
apes or kangaroos): "the kangaroo's forearms seem undeveloped but the powerful five-fingered hands are skilled at feinting and clouting"- Springfield (Mass.) Union
noun: the cards held in a card game by a given player at any given time
noun: the (prehensile) extremity of the superior limb
¼ of the motor cortex is devoted to the hand
Motions of the Wrist and Hand• Forearm
– Flexion– Extension– Supination– Pronation
• Wrist– Flexion– Extension– Ulnar deviation– Radial deviation– Circumduction
• Hand– Flexion– Extension– Adduction– Abduction– Opposition– Circumduction
*Palmar and Dorsal Side
Bony Anatomy of the Forearm • Two Bones that articulate with the elbow (proximal) and the wrist (distal)
• Ulna– Larger and longer bone of the two (extension of the humerus). It distally articulates with the triquetrium and lunate via the TFCC.
– Ulnar styloid process• Radius
– Distal end makes up majority of the wrist articulation
– Two articulations -one with the carpal bones and the other with the ulna
– Articulates with the scaphoid and lunate– Radial styloid process
Hand and Wrist Anatomy14 phalanges
2 sesamoid bones (thumb)5 metacarpals8 carpal bonesDistal Radius
Forms small ulnar notch to accept the ulnar head
Radial styloid processDistal Ulna
Ulnar styloid process arises from medial surface
Ulnar head
Carpals(flat bones aligned in 2 rows)Proximal
Scaphoid-most commonly fractures Lunate-most commonly dislocated Triquetrum Pisiform-acts as sesmoid bone
Distal Trapezium(aligns with 1st metacarpal) Trapezoid(2nd metacarpal) Capitate(3rd metacarpal) Hamate(4th and 5th metacarpal)
Anatomy of the Carpal BonesWrist is made up of 8 carpal bonesScaphoid- name is derived from the Greek word skaphe, meaning boat. Most commonly fractured carpal bone
Lunate- Poor blood supply. Triquetrum- Three sided bonePisiform- Sesamoid bone, floating in the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle
Trapezium-Lays between the scaphoid and the thumb’s metacarpal
Trapezoid- Lays at the base of the second metacarpal (index or pointer finger)
Capitate-Largest of the carpal bonesHamate- Latin word means “hook”. “She Looks Too Pretty; Try To Catch Her”
Anatomy of the Phalanges5 MetacarpalsNumbered 1-5 starting at the thumbOr named thumb, index, middle, ring and little finger
Thumb = pollicusPinky = digiti minimiIndex = IndicusJoints
Carpometacarpal (CMC) = carpals to metacarpals Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) = metacarpals to phalanges
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) = proximal phalanges to middlephalanges
Distal Interphalangeal (DIP) = middle phalanges to distal phalanges
Collateral ligaments of the IP joints
ArticulationsDistal Radioulnar
Formed by ulnar head and ulnar notchAllows 1 degree freedom of movement
Pronation/supinationRadius glides around the ulna
Radiocarpal jointReinforced by ligamentous thickeningFormed by distal radius articulating with scaphoid, lunate and triangular fibrocartilage disk(TFCC)
Ellipsoid joint (2 degrees freedom) Flexion/extension Radial/ulnar deviation
Intercarpal JointsPalmar/dorsal/interosseous ligaments between each carpal
Very little gliding
Midcarpal JointsProximal/distal carpal row separated by a single joint cavity with small fibrous projections connecting the rows
Limited mobility in flex/ext, radial/ulnar deviation
Carpometacarpal Joint (CMC)MC1/trapeziumMC2/trapezoidMC3/capitateMC4and 5/hamate (forms 1 articulation)
1st CMC (thumb)Saddle joint
2 degrees of freedom(3)Flexion/extensionAbduction/adduction
Accessory rotationAllows for opposition
2-4 CMCPlane/synovial joint1 degree freedom
Flexion/extension
5th CMC2 degree freedom
Flexion/extension Abduction/adduction
Metacarpophalangeal Joint (MCP)Two degrees freedom of movement
Flexion/extension Abduction/adduction
Thumb can abduct at any point/fingers only when extended
Collateral ligaments Varus/valgus force
When fingers are in flexion they tighten and limit abduction/adduction
Interphalangeal JointOne degree freedom of movement
Flexion/extensionCollateral ligaments

Flexor Carpi Radialis = near carpals on radial side
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris = near carpals on ulnar side
Palmaris Longus (absent in about 25% of population)(thumb and little finger opposition)
Muscles of the ForearmAnterior Muscles
Pronators Pronator Teres Pronator Quadratus
Muscles of the ForearmAnterior Muscles
Digit Flexors Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (share a muscle belly with FDP, why all fingers will move)
Flexor Digitorum Profundus (lumbrical muscles of fingers arise from the distal tendons)
Flexor Pollicis Longus (10% of population the tip of the index and the thumb move together)
Muscles of the ForearmPosterior MusclesWrist and Finger Extensors and Wrist SupinatorsWrist Extensors
extensor carpi radialis brevis = posterior & radial side, short
extensor carpi radialis longus = posterior & radial side, long extensor carpi ulnaris = posterior & ulnar side
Finger Extensors (attach at the common extensor tendon on the lateral epicondyle) extensor digitorum = extends digits extensor indicis = extends pointer finger extensor digiti minimi = extends pinky
Thumb Extensors abductor pollicis longus (Lay hand flat on table and abduct thumb)
extensor pollicis brevis/longus (Lay hand flat on table and extend only the thumb)
Nerve Distribution of the Hand
Ligaments of the Forearm• Interosseus Membrane- A fibrous sheath that connects the radius and the ulna.
• Radiocarpal ligaments-– Volar Radiocarpal ligament– Dorsal Radiocarpal ligament
• Ulnar collateral ligaments• Radial collateral ligaments
Dorsal Wrist ligaments Volar Wrist Ligaments
CentralTendons FDS/FDP

Carpal TunnelFibro-osseous structure
Floor is proximal carpal bonesRoof is transverse carpal ligament
Tunnel contains 10 structuresMedian n., flexor pollicis longus tendon, 4 slips of flexor digitorium superficialis, flexor digitorium profundus
Compression results in paresthesia 2-4 fingers and decrease grip
