Finger JointMetacarpophalangeal JointMovementBiomechanicsThe anatomy and function of the three joints within each finger are mutually complementary; none functions independently of the other two. A complex, yet precise, intrinsic and extrinsic soft-tissue support links these three joints and provides a ...
Additions and changes in the description of the anatomy of the finger flexor sheath and pulleys that I published in 1974 and 1975 have prompted me to restudy this system. Sixty-one fresh human cadaver fingers were dissected using the operating room microscope. This study demonstrated a flexor sy...

Near the shoulder joint, there is the bony projection of the shoulder blade which resembles a bird’s beak. It is called the coracoid process. The upper arm bone is called the humerus. At the top, it has a round head, which is about the size of a golf ball, as well as two bony ...
Major gliding joints include the intervertebral joints and the bones of the wrists and ankles. (2) Hinge joints move on just one axis. These joints allow for flexion and extension. Major hinge joints include the elbow and finger joints. (3) A pivot joint provides rotation. At the top of ...
The hand consists of the carpus, the metacarpus, and the digits. Of the eight bones of the carpus, which are arranged in two rows, three articulate with the bones of the forearm (the radiocarpal joint) and with those of the metacarpus, which make up the base of the hand. The basal...
Closely-set, small buttock “muscles” of the android make small roundish or triangular cheeks to her “bottom.” The pelvis with a 2 finger arch, rather than the 3 finger width, means baby fits best with an anterior position and good flexion (chin tucking). Upright positions and more ...
You can palpate its anterior border when you run your finger down the anterior aspect of your leg. You can also certainly feel it when you hit it against a surface by accident. The tibia is the weight-bearing bone of the leg and is directly involved in the formation of both the knee ...
