The radiocarpal joint and joints of the hand represent numerous different types of synovial articulation. Movements at these joints are essential for dextrous tasks such as feeding, object manipulation, non-verbal communication, and self-care. This Silicone Plastinate enables the structure and alignment of these joints to be visualized and explored alongside their joint capsule and associated ligaments. The position, shape and boundaries of the carpal tunnel is also revealed.
