Wrist Joint Chapter 12 Terms
Flexor Carpi Radialis Insertion
Base of second and third metacarpals
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Insertion

Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Insertion
Pisiform and base of 5th Metacarpal
Radial collateral function
Provides lateral support
*Palmar Fascia Function
Provides protection and attachment

Proximal Radius
Loss of radial nerve function results in wrist drop why?
Radial nerve innervates extensor muscles. When nerve is compromised, extension and supination are affected.
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Origin

extensor carpi radialis brevis motion(s)
extension
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus motion(s)
extension, radial deviation
extensor carpi ulnaris motion(s)
extension, ulnar deviation
muscles of wrist that attach on posterior side of wrist
extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris
radial nerve innervation

Why doesn't extensor carpi radialis play a major role in wrist radial deviation?
inserts at midline of the third metacarpal
