  1. what does the radiocarpal joint include?
    • radius
    • radioulnar disk
    • scaphoid
    • lunate
    • triquetrum
  2. motion plane of the midcarpal joints?
    gliding motion
  3. Triangular fibrocartilage complex location
    disk extends from the ulnar side of radius to the ulnar styloid process

  11. Palmar radiocarpal ligament is located where?
    • anterior surface of wrist:
    • radius & ulna to scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum
  12. purpose of Palmar radiocarpal ligament
    prevent extension
  13. Dorsal radiocarpal ligament is located where?
    • posterior surface of wrist:
