Which bones does the distal row of the carpal bones contain?
Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate (biggest in 2nd row), hamate, hamulus (hook of hamate)
Which is the most fractured bone among the carpal bones?
Scaphoid bone
Which is the 2nd most fractured bone among the carpal bones?
Triquetrum
Which is the most dislocated carpal bone?
Lunate bone
What is the carpal tunnel?
The 2 rows of the carpal bones produce the carpal groove which is concave anteriorly
What is the flexor retinaculum?
Is a double layer of membrane covering the carpal groove anteriorly and produces the carpal tunnel for transmission of flexor muscles and median nerve
What are the points of insertion of flexor retinaculum?
Tubercle of scaphoid, pisiform, tubercle of trapezium and hook of hamate
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Compression to the median nerve in the tunnel due to hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, pregnancy (more water retention compresses nerve), Amyloidosis etc.
