Exempel på metacarpal

• This technique produces values of bone mineral density for the whole cross-sectional area of the metacarpal and for the two cortical edges.

• The origin of the metacarpal coordinate system was located on the lateral aspect of the distal end of the third metacarpus.

• The radiographs were scanned at the nutrient foramen of the third metacarpal with a video densitometer.

• Microdensitometry of the metacarpal bone has also been measured in radiographs, using an aluminium step wedge for calibration.

• Denham79 measured cortical bone thickness in radiographs of the second metacarpal and showed that this parameter declined with duration of hemiplegia.

• However, their hands were together in front of them, crossing one above the other at the level of the distal radii and ulnae, carpals, or metacarpals.

• The metacarpal z-axis, contained in the metacarpal frontal plane, ran from the origin proximally along the long axis of the segment at 908 to the x-axis.

• This claimed to have shown that women in the highest quartile of bone density at the distal radius or metacarpal had a two- to three-fold increased risk of breast cancer.

• Together with the fourteen phalanx bones of the fingers these metacarpal bones form five rays or poly-articulated chains.

• It connects the dorsal sides of the trapezium and the first metacarpal.

• The second metacarpal bone is connected to the trapezium, trapezoid, and capitate.

• The arrangement of the forefoot bone ("metacarpal") columns in eusauropods was semi-circular, so sauropod forefoot prints are horseshoe-shaped.

• X-rays revealed a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal.

• Humans did not evolve from knuckle-walking apes, and chimpanzees and gorillas independently acquired elongated metacarpals as part of their adaptation to their modes of locomotion.

• In its proximal end, the volar plate becomes membranous and blends with the volar capsule which is attached to the head of the metacarpal bone.
