Carpometacarpal joints
Description
The carpometacarpal articulations are planar synovial joints that are but slightly movable. This is particularly true of the carpo-metacarpal joints of the second and third fingers. The carpometacarpal joints move slightly when the concavity of the hand is increased or diminished, for example, during hollowing or flattening of the palm, and during opposition of the little finger.
