The carpal joint is a compound joint composed of:
The carpal joint is a compound joint composed of:
The joint is a synovial joint, comprised of a common outer fibrous capsule and three inner synovial pouches, one for each joint.
1. The '''antebrachiocarpal joint''' between the radius/ulna and the proximal carpal bones.
2. The '''middle carpal joint''' between the two rows of carpal bones.
3. The '''carpometacarpal joint''' between the distal carpal bones and the proximal metacarpals.
The joint is a synovial joint, comprised of a common outer fibrous capsule and three inner synovial pouches, one for each joint. '''Collateral ligaments''' extend from the radius to the metacarpal bones on the medial and lateral aspect of the carpus. The carpal canal houses both the deep digital flexor tendon, and the deep branch of the superficial digital flexor.
