carpometacarpal

The best example of this form is the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.

The carpometacarpal joints of second through fifth digits are arthrodial.

The first carpometacarpal joint is a frequent site of osteoarthritis in postmenopausal women.

Occasionally the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints have a separate synovial membrane.

The configuration of the thumb carpometacarpal joint plays an important role in the mechanism of opposition.

If the thumb or its carpometacarpal joint is absent, centralization can be followed by pollicization.

The synovial membrane for these joints is continuous with that of the carpometacarpal joints.

For this true, pulp-to-pulp opposition to be possible, the thumb must rotate about its long axis (at the carpometacarpal joint).

The bone itself is located between the joints called the metacarpophalangeal joint and the carpometacarpal joint.

A carpometacarpal boss may exist from birth or may be the result of a trauma or injury in the affected area.

Carpometacarpal bossing or Metacarpal is a small, immovable mass of bone on the back of the wrist.

Early, anatomically correct drawings of the ligaments of the first carpometacarpal joints where produced by .

These bumps do not have a nickname, but the joint is called the CMC or carpometacarpal joint.

A primitive autonomization of the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC) may have occurred in dinosaurs.

Besides the metacarpophalangeal joints, the metacarpal bones articulate by carpometacarpal joints as follows:

The abductor pollicis brevis does this by acting across both the carpometacarpal joint and the metacarpophalangeal joint.

The part of opposition that this muscle is responsible for is the flexion of the thumb's metacarpal at the first carpometacarpal joint.

The joints formed by the carpus include the wrist (radiocarpal joint), intercarpal, carpometacarpal and intermetacarpal joints.

The movements permitted in the second through fifth carpometacarpal joints is most readily observable in the (distal) heads of the metacarpal bones.

He remembered that the thumb joint is officially called the carpometacarpal joint, although it is informally referred to as the "saddle joint."

The chief action of abductor pollicis longus is to abduct the thumb at the carpometacarpal joint, thereby moving the thumb anteriorly.

The carpometacarpal joint connects the carpal bones to the metacarpus or metacarpal bones which are joined at the intermetacarpal articulations.

The carpometacarpal joint is usually found at the base of the second and third metacarpal bones at the point where they meet the small bones of the wrist.

It is connected to the trapezium of the carpus at the first carpometacarpal joint and to the proximal thumb phalanx at the first metacarpophalangeal joint.

Type III-A has a fairly stable carpometacarpal joint and type III-B does not.
