Joints of the hand, X-ray Interphalangeal ligaments and phalanges. Right hand. Deep dissection. Posterior (dorsal) view. The PIP joint exhibits great lateral stability. Its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior diameter and its thick collateral ligaments are tight in all positions during flexion, contrary to those in the metacarpophalangeal joint.
The carpometacarpal joint connects the carpal bones to the metacarpus or metacarpal bones which are joined at the intermetacarpal articulations. In the fingers, finally, are the metacarpophalangeal joints (including the knuckles) between the metacarpal bones and the phalanges or finger bones which are interconnected by the interphalangeal joints
It joins with the scapula above at the shoulder joint (or glenohumeral joint) and with the ulna and radius below at the elbow joint. Notice: When the arm is spun so that the thumb point to the outside of the body, meaning the palm of the hand looks forward then it is said the hand is supinated. But when the thumb remains in the inside and the ...
English: Showing the distal interpahalangeal (DIP), the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints on the right hand. Magyar: Az ábra a disztális interfalangeális (DIP), a proximális interfalangeális (PIP) és a metakarpofalangeális (MCP) ízületeket mutatja a jobb kéz középső ujján.
These are the distal phalanx, carrying the nail, the middle phalanx, and the proximal phalanx. Joints are formed wherever two or more of these bones meet. Each of the fingers has three joints: metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) – the joint at the base of the finger; proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) – the joint in the middle of the finger
These joints are of the condyloid kind, formed by the reception of the rounded heads of the metacarpal bones into shallow cavities on the proximal ends of the proximal phalanges. [1] Being condyloid, they allow the movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction (see anatomical terms of motion) at the joint. [1]

The collateral ligaments of interphalangeal joints are ligaments of the interphalangeal joints of the hand. They limit extension at these joints (together with the palmar ligaments). [1] On each side of the interphalangeal joints of the fingers are diagonally placed fibrous bands. The proximal ends of the bands are near the dorsal phalanges of ...
