Hand Flashcards
lots of pressure on digit 3 does what?
dislocates lunate
lots of pressure on digit 1 does what?
fracture of scaphoid
palmar surface
hairless, many sweat glads, transverse and longitudinal flexion creases
fingerprints - non-skid tread
looser skin
dorsal surface
loose skin with hair
superficial palmar fascia
thin layer
highly fibrous
bound tight to deep fascia
deep palmar fascia
continuous with deep fascia of antebrachium
webs in fingers?
important bc its the location of blood vessels and nerve
fascia distal to wrist?
becomes palmar carpal ligament (thicker)
-which is continuous to the transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum)
what muscles attaches to palmar aponeurosis?
palmaris longus
superficial palmar aponeurosis
longitudinal orientation
-continuous proximally with the flexor retinaculum
and palmaris longus tendon
distally extends onto four lesser digits to attach to base of proximal phalanges and fuse with fibrous digital sheaths
dupuytrens contracture
thickening and contracture of longitudinal bands of palmar aponeurosis
fingers force to flexion
deep layer of palmar aponeurosis
transverse fibers continuous with thenar and hypothenar fascias, thicker distally
superficial transverse metacarpal ligament
unites longitudinal bands distal on their anterior surfaces assist in strengthening region of interdigital webs
fibrous digital sheaths
specializations of deep fascia anchored to margins of phalanges
form a fibro-osseous canal for passage of digital flexor tendons
prevent bowstringing of flexor tendons
synovial digital sheaths
located between fibrous sheath and accompanying tendon
-lubricate the fibrous digital sheath
fluid filled connective tissue bursa wrapped around tendons
each digit has own sheath
radial bursa
aka bursa of flexor pollicis longus tendon
extends from proximal to flexor retinaculum to distal attachment of flexor pollicis longus
ulnar bursa
aka common flexor bursa
surrounds tendons of long digital flexors
-flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus
extends from proximal to flexor retinaculum distally to tip of 5th digit
connective tissue septa?
from palmar neurosis to shafts of metacarpals delineating three compartments:
thenar, central, hypothenar
deeper transverse fascal plane?
fourth compartment:
-adductor inter-osseous compartment
plane of reference in hand?
digit 3
deep palmar space
between opposing fascias of central and adductor-interosseous compartment
extension of palmar aponeurosis to shaft of thid metacarpal divids this space into lateral palmar space and medial (mid-palmar space)
compartments of hand
thenar, hypothenar, central, adductor interosseous
in plane of palm?
adducted
out of plane of palm
abducted
opposition what is moved?
metacarpals moving toward midline of hand
-opponins muscles
hypothenar
digit 5
thenar
digit 1
muscles of thenar compartment
abductor pollicic brevis
attachments of abductor pollicis brevis
origin:
flexor retinaculum, scaphoid, trapeqium
insertion:
ventral base of proximal phalanx of thumb laterally
action of abductor pollicis brevis
abducts thumb (with slight flexion of carpometacarpal joint)
out of plane of thumb**
innervation of abductor pollicis brevis
median nerve (recurrent)
attachments of flexor pollicis brevis
origin:
flexor retinaculum, trapezium
insertion:
lateral base of proximal phalanx of thumb
action of flexor pollicis brevis
flexion of thumb at carpometacarpal metacarpophalangeal joints
innervation of flexor pollicis brevis
superficial head - median nerve recurrent
deep head - deep branch ulnar nerve
order of muscles in thenar and hypothenar
-superficial to deep?
abductor, flexor, opponens
attachments of opponens pollicis
origin:
flexor retinaculum, trapezium
insertion:
most of radial palmar border of first metacarpal
action of opponens pollicis
opposition of thumb
innervation of opponens pollicis
median nerve recurrent
