The Hand & Fingers : Osteology & Anatomy

Master Hand Anatomy and Osteology with Clarity and Confidence

Explore the intricate structure of the human hand with RadGuide’s in-depth digital presentation. Ideal for anatomy students, radiography trainees, and healthcare educators, this resource delivers a comprehensive introduction to the bones, landmarks, and functional anatomy of the hand—foundational for both clinical understanding and advanced study.

In this presentation, you’ll explore:

Hand Osteology Overview: A detailed examination of the 27 bones that make up the human hand, including the phalanges (proximal, middle, distal), five metacarpals, and the eight carpal bones. Understand how these bones are organized and how they contribute to the hand’s remarkable range of motion and dexterity.

Carpal Bone Anatomy: Clear descriptions and visualizations of the carpal bones—such as the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and trapezium—highlighting their positions, articulations, and clinical relevance in wrist and hand function.

Key Anatomical Landmarks: Identify major bony landmarks, such as the styloid processes, metacarpal heads, and phalangeal bases, which serve as critical reference points for anatomical study and physical examination.

Joint Structure and Functional Relationships: Gain insight into how the hand's bones interact at joints such as the metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and carpometacarpal (CMC) joints. Learn how bone structure supports grip, precision, and load-bearing activities.

Clinical and Educational Context: Designed to support foundational learning, this presentation bridges anatomy with clinical relevance, offering insights into how skeletal features relate to movement, injury patterns, and musculoskeletal assessments.

Format: Digital Presentation (PowerPoint/PDF)
