This article is a stub. The radiocarpal joint is formed by the articulation between the distal end of the radius, a bone in the forearm, and the proximal

There are two forms - the more common proximal form, and less common distal form. Proximal Intersection Syndrome In the proximal form the affected location

Radial and Ulnar Deviation Radial deviation: the scaphoid flexes forcing the lunate into palmar flexion, the hamate rotates into "high" position. Ulnar deviation:

for example these tendons can be contained within a single sheath (common form) or there can be a septum that divides the APL (variant, with partial and

anterosuperiorly from hip flexion like with cam lesions, but also posteroinferiorly from posterior subluxation due to continued flexion causing a contre-coup

The anterior spinal artery is formed from the branches of the vertebral artery. The posterior spinal arteries are formed from either the posterior inferior

relative movements of the sacrum and coccyx. Hypermobility in flexion has been defined as flexion of more than 25 degrees. Hypomobility has been defined as

tibiotalar joint, also known as the ankle joint or talocrural joint, is formed by the junction between the distal tibia and fibula and the talus. It has

calcaneus forms a triplanar, uniaxial joint with the talus. Anteriorly, the talus sits on the anterior and middle facets of the calcaneus, forming the acetabulum

amplitude of movement is significantly lower. Joint Space: There must be some form of space between the two bones which allows the synovial joint to move. The

major hip flexor. Rectus femoris is a two-joint muscle and is active during both hip flexion and knee extension; it works better as a hip flexor with the

the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges of the fingers. The are formed by the reception of the rounded heads of the metacarpal bones into shallow

Complete loss of a single trabeculum is irreversible because bone can only be formed on existing surfaces. Strength of trabecular bone depends on both apparent

extrinsic flexors. Thus, high-level median nerve impairment affects the radial flexor muscles of the hand more greatly than it does the flexor capacity

two types of motion: flexion-extension and pronation-supination. The humeroulnar and humeroradial articulations allow elbow flexion and extension and are
