Q

Superficial Palmar Arch

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Formed by ulnar artery + superficial branch of radial
  • Superficial to long flexor tendons
  • Located about mid-palm
  • Gives off 3 common palmar digital branches
24
Q

3 Palmar Digital Branches

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Travels on the lumbricals 2 - 4

- Proper palmar digital branch off from common palmar digital

25
Radial passes through snuffbox and through 1st dorsal interossei. Gives off:
- Princeps pollicis artery: palmar side of 1st digit | - Radialis indicis: lateral side of 2nd digit
26
Deep Palmar Arch
- Formed by radial + deep branch of ulnar - Deep to long flexor tendons and adductor pollicis - Located at the base of metacarpals
27
Deep Palmar Arch Gives Off
- Palmar metacarpal arteries | - Perforating branches
28
Palmar Metacarpal Arteries of Deep Palmar Arch
- Anastomose with common palmar digital
29
Perforating Branches of Deep Palmar Arch
- Anastomose with dorsal metacarpal arteries
30
Nerves of the Hand (Palmar Aspect)
- Median nerve | - Ulnar nerve
31
Median Nerve of Hand (Palmar Aspect)
- Palmar cutaneous branch - Recurrent branch - Common palmar digital nerves
32
Palmar Cutaneous Branch
- Arises before carpal tunnel and innervates palm
33
Recurrent Branch
- Supplies thenar muscles
34
Common Palmar Digital Nerves
- Proper palmar digital nerves
35
Ulnar Nerve (In the Ulnar Canal)
- Palmar cutaneous branch - Superficial branch - Deep branch
36
Ulnar nerve (in the ulnar canal) Palmar cutaneous branch Superficial branch Palmaris brevis muscle Common palmar digital and proper palmar digital Sensory to 5th digits and medial ½ of 4th Deep branch supplies all muscles of the hand innervated by ulnar nerve, except palmaris brevis Joints Accompanies deep branch of ulnar artery and deep palmar arch
Ulnar nerve (in the ulnar canal) Palmar cutaneous branch Superficial branch Palmaris brevis muscle Common palmar digital and proper palmar digital Sensory to 5th digits and medial ½ of 4th Deep branch supplies all muscles of the hand innervated by ulnar nerve, except palmaris brevis Joints Accompanies deep branch of ulnar artery and deep palmar arch
37
Superficial Branch of Ulnar Nerv
- Palmaris brevis muscle - Common palmar digital and proper palmar digital - Sensory to 5th digits and medial ½ of 4th
38
Deep Branch of Ulnar Nerve
- Supplies all muscles of the hand innervated by ulnar nerve, except palmaris brevis - Joints - Accompanies deep branch of ulnar artery and deep palmar arch
39
Common Palmar Digital and Proper Palmar Digital (Ulnar Nerve)
- Sensory to 5th digits and medial ½ of 4th
40
Nerves of the Hand (Dorsal Aspect)
- Ulnar nerve | - Radial nerve
41
Ulnar Nerve
- Dorsal branch of ulnar (sensory) - Dorsal digital nerves - Supplies dorsum and medial 1 ½ digits
42
Radial Nerve
- Superficial branch of radial (sensory) - Dorsal digital branches - Supplies dorsum and lateral 3 ½ digits - Lateral portion of thenar eminence
43
Palmar Digital Nerves from Median and Ulnar Nerves
- Supplies distal aspect of fingers
44
Floor (Posterior) of Carpal Tunnel
- Carpal bones
45
Roof (Anterior) of Carpal Tunner
- Flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament)
46
Transverse Carpal Ligament Lateral Attachment
- Scaphoid | - Trapezium
47
Transverse Carpal Ligament Medial Attachment
- Pisiform | - Hook of hamate
48
Content of Carpal Tunnel
- 4 tendons of FDS - 4 tendons of FDP - Tendon of FPL - Median nerve
49
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Signs and symptoms due to median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel - Caused by different factors
50
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms
- Pain, anesthesia, paresthesia (numbness, prickling sensation) to lateral 3 ½ digits - Hand clumsiness/weakness - Weakness and wasting of (LOAF muscles) - Ape-hand deformity
51
Pain, anesthesia, paresthesia (numbness, prickling sensation) to lateral 3 ½ digits in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Pain can extend into distal forearm | - Central palm and lateral thenar sensation are normal
52
Weakness and Wasting of (LOAF Muscles) in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- 1st and 2nd Lumbricals - Opponens pollicis - APB - FPB
53
Ape-Hand Deformity
- Atrophy of thenar | - Inability to move thumb away from hand
54
Ganglion Cyst
- Common benign soft tissue tumor found in the hand/wrist - Most common over dorsal wrist - Volar ganglion cyst can cause compression of median or ulnar nerves (or branches) - Pathogenesis is unknown, originates from joints of the wrist or flexor sheaths
55
Origination of Pathogenesis from Joints of the Wrist or Flexor Sheaths (Ganglion Cyst)
- Connective tissue degeneration and cystic space formation - Herniation of synovium - Leakage of synovial fluid into surrounding space
56
Pathogenesis of Ganglion Cysts
- Unknown | - Originates from joints of the wrist or flexor sheaths
57
Ganglion Cyst Treatment
- Observation - Aspiration - Surgical resection
