Upper Extremity: Hand (Part 2) Flashcards
Hypothenar Muscles
- Abductor digiti minimi
- Flexor digiti minimi brevis
- Opponens digiti
Hypothenar Muscles Proximal Attachment
- Carpals
- Flexor retinaculum
Hypothenar Muscles Distal Attachment
- Distal attachment
5th metacarpal (ODM)
Base of 5th proximal phalanx (FDMB, ADM)
Hypothenar Innervation
- Deep branch of ulnar
Hypothenar Function
- Name tells you function
- ADM can also help flex proximal phalanx of 5th digit
Lumbricals (“Worm-Like”) Proximal Attachment
- Tendons of FDP
- 1st and 2nd attach to one tendon
- 3rd and 4th attach to 2 adjacent tendons
Lumbricals (“Worm-Like”) Distal Attachment
- Extensor expansion of digits 2-5 (lateral side)
- Ex: 1st lumbrical > 2nd digit extensor expansion
1st and 2nd Lumbricals (“Worm-Like”) Innervation
- Median nerve
3rd and 4th Lumbricals (“Worm-Like”) Innervation
- Deep branch of ulnar nerve
Lumbricals (“Worm-Like”) Function
- Flex MCP joint and extend IP joints
Palmar Interossei Proximal Attachment
- Metacarpals 2 (1st), 4 (2nd), 5 (3rd)
Palmar Interossei Distal Attachment
- Base of proximal phalanges
- Extensor expansion of digits
- Medial 2nd (1st), Lateral 4th (2nd), Lateral 5th (3rd)
Palmar Interossei
- 3 in number (numbered from lateral to medial)
Palmar Interossei Function
- Adduct digits 2,4,5
- Flex MCP and extend IP’s of respective digits
Dorsal Interossei
- 4 in number
Dorsal Interossei Proximal Attachment
- Adjacent metacarpals
- Ex: 1st dorsal interossei attaches to 1st and 2nd metacarpal
Dorsal Interossei Distal Attachment
- Base of proximal phalanges and extensor expansion of digits 2-4
- Lateral 2nd (1st), lateral 3rd (2nd), medial 3rd (3rd), medial 4th (4th)
Dorsal Interossei Innervation
- Deep branch of ulnar nerve
Dorsal Interossei Function
- Abduct digits 2,4,5
- Flex MCP and extend IP’s of respective digits
Palmar Interossei Innervation
- Deep branch of ulnar nerve
Radial and Ulnar Arteries of Hand
- Form the dorsal carpal arch, superficial and deep palmar arches
Dorsal Carpal Arch
- Formed by branches of radial and ulnar arteries
- Gives off 2nd – 4th dorsal metacarpal arteries
- 1st dorsal metacarpal is a branch off of radial
