| triangular disk of wrist | The disk that holds together the distal ends of the radius and ulna; it is attached by its apex to a depression between the styloid process and distal surface of the head of the ulna, and by its base to the ridge separating the ulnar notch from the carpal surface of the radius. Synonym: discus articularis radioulnaris, radioulnar disk, radioulnar articular disk, triangular cartilage, triangular disk of wrist, triquetrous cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |

| external collateral ligament of wrist | The ligament that extends distally from the styloid process of the radius to the carpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi radiale, external collateral ligament of wrist, lateral ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar collateral ligament of wrist | A ligament that passes from the styloid process of the ulna to the pisiform and triquetrum. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi ulnare, internal collateral ligament of the wrist, medial ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar extensor muscle of wrist | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus (humeral head) and oblique line and posterior border of ulna (ulnar head); insertion, base of fifth metacarpal bone; action, extends and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, radial (posterior interosseous). Synonym: musculus extensor carpi ulnaris, ulnar extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar flexor muscle of wrist | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeral head from medial condyle of humerus, ulnar head from olecranon and upper three-fifths of posterior border of ulna; insertion, pisiform bone, but is continued to the fifth metacarpal bone via the pisometacarpal ligament; action, flexes and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, ulnar. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi ulnaris, ulnar flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of wrist | The ligament that extends distally from the styloid process of the radius to the carpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi radiale, external collateral ligament of wrist, lateral ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long radial extensor muscle of wrist | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus; insertion, back of base of second metacarpal bone; action, extends and deviates wrist radialward; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor carpi radialis longus, long radial extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromioclavicular dislocation | <orthopaedics> Disruption of the normal articulation between the acromion process and the clavicle. The acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) is normally stabilised by several ligaments that can be torn in the process of dislocating the AC joint). See: acromioclavicular sprain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| patellar dislocation | <radiology> most common in young girls, (genu valgum, patella alta, quad mm deficiency more in girls), lateral dislocation, spontaneous reduction, recurrent dislocation, fracture associated in 5-10% (12 Dec 1998) |
| perilunar dislocation | Dislocation of carpal bones around the lunate, which remains in relation to the radius; distinguish from dislocation of lunate, Kienbock's dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perilunate dislocation | <radiology> Lunate remains aligned with radius, capitate dislocates (usually posteriorly), more common than lunate dislocation (radial-lunate ligaments stronger than lunate-capitate ligaments), associated with scaphoid fractures (75%) = transscaphoid perilunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| chopart fracture-dislocation | <radiology> A fracture-dislocation occuring through the hindfoot-midfoot joint (i.e., tarsonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints) (12 Dec 1998) |
| closed dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound dislocation | Synonym: open dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hip dislocation | A malformation of the hip joint that is present at birth. Genetic factors likely play a role in this disorder. Features include hip dislocation, asymmetry of leg positions, asymmetric fat folds and diminished movement on the affected side. Some children will exhibit little or no features and must be diagnosed by physical examination of the hip joints. (27 Sep 1997) |
