What is the Oblique beak ligament - helps
primary prevent dorsal subluxation of
stabilizer of the metacarpal base
thumb CMC joint
anteriorly?
At PIP joint where the PCL (proper
collateral ligament) and ACL
What is the
(accessory collateral ligament) and
"critical corner"?
volar plate converge. Important in
joint stability
,What does the - With flexion pulls lateral bands
transverse volarly, with extension prevents
retinacular excessive dorsal movement of
ligament do? lateral bands
- Arises from the Oblique retinacular ligament (ORL)
A2 pulley near
prox phalanx
and inserts on
lateral bands
- lies volar to PIP
joint and dorsal
to DIP joint
(facilitates DIP
extension)
- stretch it -
keep PIP
extended and
flex DIP
What does the Connects lateral bands and
triangular stabilizes on dorsal aspect of finger
ligament do?
, - test for intrinsic tightness
- Hold MP in full ext and passive flex
PIP, note ROM
What is Bunnell- - Hold MP into flexion and passive
Littler test? flex PIP, note ROM
- If more PIP flexion when MP is
flexed then there is intrinsic
tightness
- Hold MP in full ext and passive flex
PIP, note ROM
What the
- Hold MP into flexion and passive
extrinsic tendon
flex PIP, note ROM
tightness test?
- If increased PIP flexion with MP in
ext then there is extrinsic tightness
- Hold PIP in ext passively flex DIP
- Retest DIP flexion with PIP flexed
What is the
- positive if DIP has greater PROM
oblique
with PIP flexed
retinacular
- If ROM is limited in both positions
ligament test?
the patient may have a joint
contracture
What makes up - metacarpals
50-60% of all - common in 1st and 5th digits - very
