prevalence of ulnar-to-median nerve motor fiber anastomosis (riché-cannieu communicating branch) in hand: an electrophysiological study

Prevalence of ulnar-to-median nerve motor fiber anastomosis (Riché-Cannieu communicating branch) in hand: An electrophysiological study

Background: Two main muscles studied in the hand for evaluation of median nerve injuries are opponens pollicis (OP) and abductor pollicis brevis (APB). However, Riché-Cannieu communicating branch (RCCB) may limit the use of these muscles in electrodiagnosis. This condition is confusing in the case of median nerve injuries. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of RCCB. &...

Variations in digital sensory patterns: a study of the ulnar nerve-median nerve palmar communicating branch.

Eighty percent of 50 dissected cadaver palms showed a communicating branch between the fourth and third common digital nerves (ulnar and median origins, respectively). The branch commonly crossed the palm with the superficial arterial arch and usually provided sensory fibers from a branch of the superficial ulnar nerve into the ring finger radial digital nerve. Caution should be taken during ca...

Median and ulnar nerve communication in the forearm: an anatomical and electrophysiological study.

BACKGROUND We aimed to determine the presence of median and ulnar nerve communication in the forearm by anatomical and electrophysiological examinations in the Anatolian population. MATERIAL/METHODS 30 forearms from 15 preserved cadavers (2 females, 13 males, 42-65 years of age) were carefully dissected to observe median and ulnar nerve communication. We also performed median and ulnar nerve ...
