چکیده

The adductor pollicis muscle was studied in fifty hands of Japanese adult cadavers of both sexes. The radial portion of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle has carpal and metacarpal origins and an insertion into the wing tendon of the extensor apparatus. This portion was located dorsal to the palmar metacarpophalangeal articular nerve and superficial palmar metacarpal artery. Thus, the radial portion of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle (more strictly, the slips dorsal to the palmar-penetrating twig of the ulnar nerve) is similar to the palmar interosseous muscles, except that its slips cannot be clearly distinguished from each other.

The interosseous and lumbrical muscles in the human hand, with special reference to the insertions of the interosseous muscles.

The interosseous and lumbrical muscles in twenty-five hands of Japanese adult cadavers were dissected. The palmar and dorsal interosseous muscles continued, with few exceptions, into the wing tendons. The dorsal interosseous muscles gave off tendons which pierced the transverse laminae or passed deep to the transverse laminae, and attached to the bases of the proximal phalanges. The palmar inte...

Rare Multiple Variations in the Radial Anrtery of an Iranian Cadaver

Radial artery is a muscular artery that normally aroses from brachial artery in the elbow.The radial artery is increasingly being used as a coronary bypass graft. The aim of this paper is to report details of rare multiple variations in the radial artery of a male Iranian cadaver. In routine dissection, it was observed that the right side radial artery arose from brachial artery in the arm. It ...

Simultaneous powering of forearm pronation and key pinch in tetraplegia using a single muscle-tendon unit.

This study clinically assessed the concept that both thumb flexion and forearm pronation can be restored by brachioradialis (BR)-to-flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon transfer if the BR is passed dorsal to the radius. Six patients [two women and four men, mean age 32.3 years (SD 4.9, range 23-56)] underwent BR-to-FPL transfer dorsal to the radius and through the interosseous membrane (IOM). La...

Large index-fingertip forces are produced by subject-independent patterns of muscle excitation.

Are fingertip forces produced by subject-independent patterns of muscle excitation? If so, understanding the mechanical basis underlying these muscle coordination strategies would greatly assist surgeons in evaluating options for restoring grasping. With the finger in neutral ad- abduction and flexed 45 degrees at the MCP and PIP, and 10 degrees at DIP joints, eight subjects attempted to produc...

The incidence of a superficial arterial pattern in the human upper extremities.

The incidence of superficial arteries was studied in 68 (38 right and 30 left) upper extremities. One right limb of an adult male presented a superficial arterial pattern (2.63%, total 1.47%) resembling a superficial brachio-ulno-radial artery (SBUR). The median nerve crossed the superficial brachial artery (SBA) from the posterior to the medial side and again posterior to the same at the cubit...
