Wrist, Hand, Elbow & Shoulder
Chapters 12, 11 & 10
Anatomy of the Wrist and Hand
 Looks a lot like the foot
 Has similar bone
structures:
– Phalanges
– Metatarsals
– Carpals
 There are 26 bones
 There are many ligaments
that hold the structure of
the hand together
Carpal Bones
Proximal:
A=Scaphoid
B=Lunate
C=Triquetral
D=Pisiform
Distal:
E=Trapezium
F=Trapezoid
G=Capitate
H=Hamate
The Scaphoid Bone
Find your anatomical
snuff box
Only blood supply at
one end of the bone
It has difficulty
healing if the blood
supply is interrupted
Joints of the wrist and hand
 There are three phalanges in each finger
and two in the thumb
Distal, middle and proximal
Joints:
– Distal Interphalangeal jnt (DIP)
– Proximal Iinterphalangeal jnt (PIP)
– Metacarpal Phalangeal jnt (MCP)
– Carpometacarpal jnt (CMP)
Muscles of the hand and forearm
There are two major
groups of muscles at
the wrist and forearm
Flexors: on the dorsal
side of the hand
Extensors: on the
ventral side of the
hand
The Thumb
Testing the ulnar
collateral ligament of
the thumb
The collateral
ligaments of the
thumb provide the
majority of its
stability
Preventing injuries to the hand
Boxing
Batting
Field hockey/
girls lacrosse
Cycling
More Gloves
Receiver/ Running back gloves Lineman Gloves
Splints
Wrist Sprains
Occur from twisting
and overuse
Injured structure
depends upon the
stress placed on the
wrist
Ulnar Deviation is
movement towards
the ulnar
Radial deviation is
movement towards
the radius
The Lunate
Dislocation of the
lunate bone occurs
more often than any
other carpal
dislocation
Presents as deformity,
pain, swelling, and
decreased range of
motion
Ganglion Cyst
A pocket of fluid
within the sheath
Should be referred to
a physician
Sometimes is
removed surgically
Gamekeepers/Skiers Thumb
Thumb is forced into
abduction forcefully
Pain over the joint,
swelling may be
present
An x-ray may be
necessary to rule out a
fracture
A “Jammed” Finger
A sprain of the
collateral ligaments in
the finger
Finger Dislocations
Don’t JUST
“pop” it !!!!!
 There could be underlying
hidden issues going on at
the joint
 There could be a tendon
rupture or a fracture!!!
Fractures
Boxer’s fracture is
most common in
athletes for many
reasons
Fractures
Other fractures
require the same
care and treatment
Muscle and Tendon Injuries
Repetitive stress and
stretching can cause
injuries to these structures
Some of these include
– Carpal tunnel
– deQuervian’s tendinitis
– Mallet Finger
– Jersey finger
– Boutonniere deformity
Carpal tunnel
Carpal tunnel
Most common as an overuse injury
– Tennis
– Field hockey
Watch for acute carpal tunnel due to poor
position in slings and casts
deQuervian’s tendinitis
Abductor pollicis
longus & Extensor
Pollicis brevis
tendons
Prolonged or
repetitive radial
deviation (shot
putters)
Swelling, crepitus and
pain with abduction
Mallet Finger
An avulsion fracture
of the distal phalanx.
Cannot extend the
distal phalanx
Jersey finger
Avulsion fracture of
flexor tendon
Unable to flex the
DIP
Boutonniere deformity
 Deformity arises when there is a rupture of the
central slip of the extensor mechanism.
 This is an uncommon sporting injury usually due to
an end-on injury to the finger with sudden bending
at the P.I.P. joint
 Often in football or basketball
Boutonniere deformity
Elbow
This is a very bony joint
Common to have contusions all around the
elbow.
Use PRICES
Elbow
Ligaments
There is thick joint
capsule surrounding
the elbow.
Relies on the
ligaments for stability
– Ulnar collateral
– Radial collateral
– Annular
Muscles
Biceps- elbow flexion
Triceps- elbow
extension
Wrist flexors- medial
epicondyle of humerus
Wrist extensors- lateral
epicondyle of humerus
What it really looks like
Preventing Injuries to the Elbow
 Not a frequently injured joint
Many of the injuries are caused by overuse
Most injuries occur in racket sports such as
tennis, or overhead throwing sports such
as baseball and softball.
Many times injuries are brought about by
poor training
Preventing Injuries to the Elbow
Athletes train the “beach muscles”
Overwork the Biceps to get “ pipes” or
“guns”
What about the Triceps???
What about the wrist flexors and
extensors??
What about equipment?
Tennis players can cause themselves
injuries if the grip is too small on the
racket.
Throwers should have a strong tricep and
lots of flexibility in the elbow to prevent
injuries.
Sprains
Ulnar collateral
 More common in
throwers
 The stress of overhead
activity strains the medial
aspect of the elbow.
 Wrestling?
 Pain and swelling treat as
any other ligament sprain
Radial Collateral
These are rare
Treat the same as a
ulnar collateral sprain.
Vascularity and Nerves
There are numerous
blood vessels and
three major nerves
that pass though t he
elbow
Epicondylitis
Lateral Epicondylitis
aka: Tennis Elbow
Poor mechanics and
overuse
Presents as pain and
swelling at the lateral
epicondyle
 Treat with PRICES
Medial Epicondylitis
aka: Little League Elbow
Repetitive Throwing
Little league elbow may
have an avulsion fracture at
the epiphysis
Fractures
Elbow fractures are rare in athletics.
Often results from a forceful blow to the
area or landing on hard surface.
Elbow Dislocation
Elbow Dislocation
Elbow Dislocation
One of the most commonly dislocated
joints in the body
Doesn’t take a lot of force to dislocate the
joint
MUST BE SEEN by MD immediately
Olecranon Bursitis
Olecranon Bursitis
PRICES
Use a compression wrap or sleeve to
alleviate swelling
May have to be drained by MD
Not always painful
Shoulder Anatomy
A separation occurs here
at the acromio-clavicular
joint
A dislocation occurs here at the gleno-humeral joint
Bony Anatomy
Three bones:
– Humerus
– Bicipital groove
– Clavicle
– S shape
– Scapula
– Corocoid process
– Acromion process (a/c joint)
Many ligaments
Not a very stable joint
JOINTS
There are many joints
at the shoulder
Most commonly
injured joints are
Acromio-clavicular
Gleno-humeral
– Each held together by
many ligaments
JOINTS
Muscles of the shoulder
 The Rotator Cuff
– SITS muscles
• Supraspinatus
• Infraspiantus
• Teres minor
• Subscapularis
 Deltoid
– Lays over the head of the
humerus
 Pectoralis
– Originate at sternum attach
to the anterior portion of
the humerus
Muscles
Biceps- two heads
 Originates at the Coracoid
process and the Humerus
 Distal attachment is a the
radial head
 Runs through the bicipital
groove
 ACTION: elbow flexion
and forearm supination
Triceps
 Originates at the posterior
humeral head and scapula
 Distal attachment is distal
humerus at the elbow
 ACTION: Elbow
extension and shoulder
extension
Brachial Plexus
Brachial Plexus
Brachial Plexus
Rotator Cuff Strain
Characterized like any other strain
– 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree
Common in throwing athletes
Occurs from excessive motion beyond the
normal range
Impingement Syndrome
Overdoing it with overhead motions
Supraspinatus and Bicep run together
beneath the acromion process
Space narrows because of swelling, poor
posture, muscle imbalance
Not enough room for everything in the
joint pain occurs with motion sometimes
there is numbness along with the pain
Bicipital Tendonitis
Pain with overhead motions
Palpate crepitus
Inflammation of the tendon in the groove
Tendon rupture
Tendon rupture
Fractures
There is a tremendous amount of stress at
the shoulder
Given its role in contact and collision
sports fractures are common in athletics
– Clavicular
– Humeral
– Scapular
Fractures
What does this mean?
Subluxation
Dislocation
Separation
Protection
Fitting Correctly
