    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Anatomy
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • The carpometacarpal (CMC) joints are essential for complex hand movements.
    • While less intricate than intercarpal joints, CMC joint dysfunction significantly impacts hand function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the carpometacarpal joints.
    • To discuss common clinical problems and derangements affecting these joints.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical structures of the CMC joints.
    • Discussion of clinical presentations and pathologies associated with CMC joint issues.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description of the anatomical features of the CMC joints.
  • Identification of various clinical conditions affecting CMC joint integrity and function.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding CMC joint anatomy is vital for diagnosing and managing hand dysfunction.
    • Derangements in CMC joints can lead to significant patient disability, necessitating appropriate clinical attention.
