The standard long incision technique for carpal tunnel release causes inevitable damage to skin sensation, the inter-thenar plexus and especially the distal branches of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCM), and may cause long-term disabling pain and scar tenderness. There are many variations in the distal branches of the median nerve at the wrist. Anatomic studies of this regio...

introduction: topographic anatomy of the tendons and ligaments in healthy cases provides a normal atlas to diagnose abnormalities. the aim of this study was to provide ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the anatoly donkey. methods: the metacarpal regions of 6 healthy anatoly donkeys were prepared for ultrasonography and divided to 6 levels (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b...

BACKGROUND Wrist blockage of median and ulnar nerves before treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin (BTX-A) reduces discomfort and improves accuracy of BTX-A injections, but can be associated with mechanical/chemical injury. OBJECTIVES We sought to compare locoregional anesthesia of median and ulnar nerves using conventional 25-G x 0.50 x 13 mm gauge needle with short 30-G x 0....

Address for Correspondence: Dr. Sudakshina Chakrabarti, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Medical College, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. E-Mail: [email protected] Introduction: Nerves supplying the hand are notoriously variable in their divisions and their course; do not follow any standard pattern. The palmar aspect of hand is supplied by median and ulnar nerve. The clinical ...

Introduction: The evaluation of musculoskeletal system in horse veterinary medicine is very important because of its effect on equine performance. The current study provided an ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the metacarpus in pure Persian Arabian horses. Methods: The metacarpal regions of 10 healthy mare pure Persian Arabian horses were prepared for ultrason...

We present a 36-year-old male patient who had an anatomic variation in the number of digital nerves in the index finger of the left hand. During flexor tendoplasty for a zone II flexor tendon injury in the index finger, duplication of the radial and ulnar digital nerves was detected at the level of the proximal phalanx, making a total of four digital nerves. Both radial and ulnar digital nerves...

We report the association of a persistent median artery, a bifid median nerve with a rare very high origin palmar cutaneous branch, presenting bilaterally in the upper limb of a 75-year-old female cadaver. The persistent median nerve with a bifid median nerve has been reported in patients presenting with carpal tunnel syndrome. Reports of this neurovascular anomaly occurring in association with...

Aneurysms of the hand are rarely encountered and more rarely reported. The least common locations of these aneurysms are the palmar and digital arteries. The etiologies of these entities are quite varied, although they usually present as a pulsatile mass. Following a thorough evaluation, including arterial anatomic imaging, they should be repaired. The reported results following repair have bee...

The debatable relationship of functional human hand proportion with the Fibonacci series has remained an obscure scientific enigma short of clinical interest. The main difficulty of proving such a relationship lies in defining what should constitute true functional proportion. In this study, we re-evaluate this unique relationship using hand flexion creases as anatomical surrogates for the...
