<\/p>\n
Opposition<\/strong> is the thumb<\/strong> movement<\/strong> that brings the tip of the thumb in contact with the tip of a finger. <\/p>\n
This movement is produced at the first carpometacarpal joint, which is a saddle joint formed between the trapezium carpal bone and the first metacarpal bone. Thumb opposition is produced by a combination of flexion and abduction of the thumb at this joint.
Returning the thumb to its anatomical position next to the index finger is called reposition<\/strong> (Picture 1 l). <\/p>\n
