The ring finger CMC joint has much more motion than the index or middle fingers. This permits the hand to change its shape and adapt to grasping objects of different size and shape. Because this joint is more mobile, it is more common to have a fracture or dislocation of this joint. CMC bossing does not typically occur at this joint.
The small finger CMC joint has the most motion of any finger joint, with the exception of the thumb. This makes the hand more flexible. Because this joint is more mobile it is more common to have a fracture or dislocation, particularly when you hit a hard object. CMC bossing is a problem that does not typically occur at this joint. The radiocarpal joint consists of the radius, one of the forearm bones, and the first row of wrist bones consisting of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum.
There is also a fourth bone in the first row of wrist bones called the pisiform, but it does not connect to either the radius or ulna. Wrist fractures that involve the joint surface are common wrist injuries.
One of the most common ligaments involved in a wrist sprain is the scapholunate ligament. The ulnocarpal joint includes the ulna, one of the forearm bones, as well as the lunate and triquetrum. Ulnocarpal injuries are common with sprains.
A broken wrist fracture that collapses and tilts can cause the ulna to be longer than the radius, which causes extra stress and pain, even after the fracture heals and stops hurtig.
Some people who are born with, or develop, an ulna that is longer than the radius can have pain or even have ulnocarpal abutment impaction syndrome. The distal radioulnar joint is at the wrist where the two forearm bones meet. Distal radioulnar joint instability or pain can sometimes be a challenging problem to treat.
The scaphotrapeziotrapezoid joint is at the base of the thumb in the wrist. It is made up of three wrist bones, the scaphoid, the trapezium, and the trapezoid. The scaphoid rotates at this joint as you move the wrist. This joint can become arthritic. Treatment of arthritis in this joint can include removal of the scaphoid, removal of the trapezium and part of the trapezoid, or arthrodesis also known as fusion.
The ulnohumeral joint is formed by the coming together of the humerus and ulna bones. This joint is responsible for bending and extending the elbow. Ulnohumeral arthritis can cause pain and make it difficult to bend and straighten the elbow. This can make it painful and difficult to the get the hand to the mouth, wash hair, or hold a phone to your ear.
The radiocapitellar joint is formed by the coming together of the radius and the capitellum, which is a part of the humerus. Radiocapitellar problems often lead to a clicking sound and pain when rotating the elbow. Pronation and supination occur at this joint, which is the act of rotating your palms to face upward and downward.
Radial head fractures often disrupt the close fit between the two bones at the proximal radioulnar joint, leading to pain and loss of motion. The glenohumeral joint is the coming together of the upper arm bone, the humerus, and a portion of the shoulder blade called the glenoid.
The glenoid is a shallow cup that connects to the humerus. Honor a loved one with a meaningful donation to the Arthritis Foundation. We'll send a handwritten card to the honoree or their family notifying them of your thoughtful gift. I want information on ways to remember the AF in my will, trust or other financial planning vehicles.

As a partner, you will help the Arthritis Foundation provide life-changing resources, science, advocacy and community connections for people with arthritis, the nations leading cause of disability. Join us today and help lead the way as a Champion of Yes. Our Trailblazers are committed partners ready to lead the way, take action and fight for everyday victories. Our Visionary partners help us plan for a future that includes a cure for arthritis.
Our Pioneers are always ready to explore and find new weapons in the fight against arthritis. Our Pacesetters ensure that we can chart the course for a cure for those who live with arthritis. Our Signature partners make their mark by helping us identify new and meaningful resources for people with arthritis. Our Supporting partners are active champions who provide encouragement and assistance to the arthritis community.
Hand and Wrist Anatomy The hand and wrist are made up of many different bones, muscles and ligaments that enable a wide range of movements. The following are the main structures of the hands: The wrist is formed where the two bones of the forearm — the radius the larger bone on the thumb side of the arm and the ulna the smaller bone on the pinky side — meet the carpus.

Skeletal Anatomy The wrist is comprised of 8 bones called carpal bones. Soft Tissue Anatomy Our hand and wrist bones are held in place and supported by various soft tissues. Tendons Tendons are soft tissue that connects muscles to bones to provide support. Ligaments Ligaments are strong rope like tissue that connects bones to other bones and help hold tendons in place providing stability to the joints.
Muscles Muscles are fibrous tissue capable of contracting to cause body movement. Nerves Nerves are responsible for carrying signals back and forth from the brain to muscles in our body, enabling movement and sensation such as touch, pain, and hot or cold.
The three main nerves responsible for hand and wrist movement all originate at the shoulder area and include the following: Radial : The radial nerve runs down the thumb side of the forearm and provides sensation to the back of the hand from the thumb to the third finger. Median : The median nerve travels through the wrist tunnel, also called carpal tunnel, providing sensation to the thumb, index finger, long finger, and part of the ring finger.
The ulnar nerve supplies feeling to the little finger and half of the ring finger. Blood Vessels The two main vessels of the hand and wrist are Radial Artery : The radial artery is the largest artery supplying the hand and wrist area.
Traveling across the front of the wrist, nearest the thumb, it is this artery that is palpated when a pulse is counted at the wrist. It supplies blood flow to the front of the hand, fingers and thumb.
Bursae Bursae are small fluid filled sacs that decrease friction between tendons and bone or skin.
