This fascia is continuous superiorly with the Brachial Fascia and utilizes the Interosseous Membrane to divide the Antebrachium into an Anterior (Flexor) and Posterior (Extensor) compartment.

A

Antebrachial Fascia

109
Q

What are the components of the Antebrachial Fascia?

A

Interosseous Membrane
Extensor Retinaculum
Palmar Carpal L.
Flexor Retinaculum (Transverse Carpal L.)

110
Q

This part of the Antebrachial Fascia extends between the bodies for the Ulna and Radius forming the Intermediate Radioulnar Joint.

A

Interosseous Membrane

111
Q

This part of the Antebrachial Fascia is a transverse focal thickening of Antebrachial Fascia and holds the Extensor tendons in position.

A

Extensor Retinaculum

112
Q

These surround the long extensor tendons of the Forearm as they pass under the Extensor Retinaculum to reduce friction.

A

Synovial Tendon Sheaths

113
Q

This is the corresponding anterior transverse focal thickening of Antebrachial Fascia. It is continuous with the Extensor Retinaculum.

A

Palmar Carpal L.

114
Q

This is deep and distal to the Palmar Carpal L. and is a fibrous band extending form the Tubercles of the Scaphoid and Trapezium across the Carpal Arch to the Hook of the Hamate and Pisiform, forming the Carpal Tunnel.

A

Flexor Retinaculum (Transverse Carpal L.)

***Grouped with Antebrachial Fascia, but is NOT MADE OF FASCIA. It has its own group of tissue.

115
Q

This is one long synovial sheath surrounding the long tendons of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis and Profundus Ms. to reduce friction under the Flexor Retinaculum.

A

Common Flexor Sheath

116
Q

Irritation of the Synovial Sheaths can cause an accumulation of mucopolysaccharide fluid that can form a usually painless lump known as a Synovial, or _______ ______. Infections of the Synovial Sheath can cause swelling in very specific and characteristic configurations that follow the shapes of these sheaths.

A

Ganglion cyst

117
Q

This is in the hand and is continuous proximally with Antebrachial Fascia.

A

Palmar Fascia

118
Q

This is a thickened central region of Palmar Fascia, continuous proximally with the Palmaris Longus Tendon.

A

Palmar Aponeurosis

119
Q

What are the components of the Palmar Aponeurosis?

A

Superficial Transverse Metacarpal L.
Retinacula Cutis
Medial Fibrous Septum
Lateral Fibrous Septum

120
Q

This ligament is at the base of the Palmar Aponeurosis.

A

Superficial Transverse Metacarpal L.

121
Q

These are numerous small ligaments that extend from the Palmar Aponeurosis to the skin, restricting Palmar skin movement.

A

Retinacula Cutis

122
Q

This extends dorsally to the 5th Metacarpal, and separates the Hypothenar Compartment from the Central Compartment.

A

Medial Fibrous Septum

123
Q

This extends dorsally to the 3rd Metacarpal and separates the Thenar Compartment from the Central Compartment.

A

Lateral Fibrous Septum

124
Q

This is a disease resulting in the shortening, thickening and fibrosis of the Palmar Aponeurosis and Palmar Fascia, which results in partial flexion of the 4th and 5th Digits.

A

Dupuytren Contracture

125
Q

This fascia is deep to subcutaneous fat on the Dorsum of the Hand.

A

Dorsal Fascia

126
Q

These are distal extensions from the Palmar Aponeurosis that consist of fibrous tubes that enclose the Synovial Sheaths of the long flexor tendons, arranged into altering annular and cruciform segments.

A

Fibrous Digital Sheaths

127
Q

These are for the individual Digits that surround the long tendons of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis and Profundus Ms. Held firmly in place by the Fibrous Digital Sheaths.

A

Digital Synovial Sheaths

128
Q

What are the compartments of the hand?

A

– Hypothenar Compartment (contains Hypothenar muscles)

– Central Compartment

– Thenar Compartment (contains Thenar muscles)

– Adductor Compartment

– Interosseous Compartment

129
Q

This compartment of the hand contains the Flexor tendons, the Lumbrical muscles, Superficial Palmar Arterial Arch, Digital Vessels and Digital nerves.

A

Central Compartment

130
Q

This compartment of the hand contains the Adductor Pollicis M.

A

Adductor Compartment

131
Q

This compartment of the hand is between the Metacarpal bones and contains the Interossei muscles.

A

Interosseous Compartment
