The clinical significance of the ramus communicans, which connects the medial and lateral palmar/plantar nerves, should be determined to avoid errors in interpreting the effects of diagnostic anesthesia of the palmar/plantar nerves of horses during lameness examination. To determine its clinical significance, the ramus communicans of the pelvic limbs of 2 ponies was transected. Two months later...

The arterial supply of the digits of the forelimb of the Bactrian camel is described. The arteries supplying the digits were the palmar metacarpal and common palmar digital arteries III. The palmar metacarpal artery III was the continuation of the deep medial proximal metacarpal branch which was derived from the medial branch of the radial artery. It gave rise to a nutrient branch, medial branc...

The objective of this study was to reveal the overall distribution pattern hand’s cutaneous nerves provide a morphological basis for selection and matching hand skin sensory reconstruction during flap transplantation. hands 12 adult cadavers were used study. Palmar region dorsum divided into regions I-VI. containing subcutaneous fat removed close muscle surface. modified Sihler’s staining m...

A randomised, double-blinded, controlled trial was performed to compare traditional digital blocks with single subcutaneous palmar injection blocks at the base of the finger. A search for randomised controlled trials of digital blocks through MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and CBM was conducted and a meta-analysis including the current trial was performed. The current tria...

This study confirms that the median artery may persist in adult life in 2 different patterns, palmar and antebrachial, based on their vascular territory. The palmar type, which represents the embryonic pattern, is large, long and reaches the palm. The antebrachial type,which represents a partial regression of the embryonic artery is slender, short, and terminates before reaching the wrist. Thes...

In this article we describe a unique and complex variation in the arterial pattern of the left hand of a female cadaver. The following variations were found in this case: a) persistent median artery of the palmar type, terminating in the hand as the princeps pollicis and radialis indicis arteries; b) the ulnar artery giving only two common palmar digital arteries; c) the second digital palmar a...

INTRODUCTION Superficial palmar arch (SPA) is dominant vascular structure in palm of hand. In present study we described a case of Ulnar / Radiopalmar pattern of incomplete SPA in an Iranian cadaver. When the SPA is complete, the superficial palmer branches of the radial artery contribute to the ulnar artery. In incomplete type of SPA, there was no anastomosis between the ulnar and radial arter...

The distribution and morphology of the digital Pacinian corpuscles in the laboratory house musk shrew, Suncus murinlls, were examined by light and electron microscopes. The Pacinian corpuscles occurred bilaterally along the digital nerves in the 'connective tissue between the flexor digitorum tendons and palmar aspects of the phalanges. They were oval or ellipsoidal in shape and were small, bea...
