Transcript of 10-Palm of Hand
Dr. Ahmed Fathalla Ibrahim
THE SKIN• PALM: characteristics:1. Flexure creases (lines of palm)2. Papillary ridges (fingerprints):
improve grip & increase surface area3. Fibrous bands connecting it to palmar
aponeurosis & dividing subcutaneous fat into small loculi (water-cushion withstanding considerable pressure)
4. Abundant sweat gland
SUPERFICIAL FASCIA• PALM: characteristics:1. Contains: cutaneous nerves & vessels2. Contains: Palmaris brevis (increases
the hollow of palm to get a firmer grip
DEEP FASCIA• PALM: thickened
at 3 sites:Palmar aponeurosis:• Definition• Description• Function• Clinical anatomy:
Dupuytren’s contracture
PALMAR APONEUROSIS• DEFINITION: It is a thickening of deep fascia in the
middle of the palm• DESCRIPTION: It is triangular in shape:1. Apex: directed proximally, continuous with tendon of
palmaris longus2. Base: directed distally, divided into 4 slips for the
medial 4 fingers3. Margins: send septa to metacarpal bones separating
the structures under the aponeurosis from thenar & hypothenar muscles
• FUNCTION: It protects the underlying tendons, vessels & nerves
• CLINICAL ANATOMY: DUPUYTREN’S CONTRACTURE: shortening of the medial part of aponeurosis resulting in flexion of the little & ring fingers
DEEP FASCIAFlexor retinaculum:• Definition• Attachments• Relations• Functions• Clinical anatomy:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
FLEXOR RETINACULUM• DEFINITION: It is a thickening of deep fascia
that lies over the front of the carpal bones converting the carpal groove (formed by carpal bones) into a tunnel
• ATTACHMENTS: 1. Lateral: by 2 laminae: superficial (to
tubercles of scaphoid & trapezium) & deep (to the medial lip of the groove on the trapezium)
2. Medial: to pisiform & hook of hamate
FLEXOR RETINACULUM• RELATIONS: • Superficial: from lateral to medial:1. Superficial palmar branch of radial artery2. Palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve3. Tendon of palmaris longus4. Palmar cutaneous branch of ulnar nerve5. Ulnar vessels6. Ulnar nerve• Deep: Structures passing through carpal tunnel1. Tendon of FPL & its synovial sheath (radial bursa)2. Tendons of FDS & FDP & their common synovial sheath (Ulnar
bursa)3. Tendon of FCR & its synovial sheath ( in a special compartment)4. Median nerve
FLEXOR RETINACULUM• FUNCTION: It keeps the flexor tendons
in position during movement of wrist joint
• CLINICAL ANATOMY (CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME): Compression of median nerve under the flexor retinaculum
DEEP FASCIAFibrous flexor sheaths• Definition• Attachments• Function
FIBROUS FLEXOR SHEATH• DEFINITION: It is a thickening of deep
fascia in front of the fingers• ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proximal: to the slips of palmar
aponeurosis2. Distal: to the base of distal phalanx3. On either side: to the side of phalanx• FUNCTION: It holds the long flexor
tendons during flexion of the fingers
INTRINSIC MUSCLES• LATERAL GROUP: FOUR THENAR MUSCLES• MEDIAL GROUP: THREE HYPOTHENAR MUSCLESPALMARIS BREVIS• CENTRAL GROUP: FOUR LUMBRICALSFOUR PALMAR INTEROSSEIFOUR DORSAL INTEROSSEI• ALL MUSCLES ARE SUPPLIED BY C8 & T1 SPINAL
SEGMENTS THROUGH MEDIAN & ULNAR NERVES
INTRINSIC MUSCLES• THENAR MUSCLES:THENAR MUSCLES:1. Abductor pollicis brevis2. Flexor pollicis brevis3. Opponens pollicis4. Adductor pollicis• HYPOTHENAR MUSCLES:HYPOTHENAR MUSCLES:1. Abductor digiti minimi2. Flexor digiti minimi3. Opponens digiti minimi
INTRINSIC MUSCLES
INTRINSIC MUSCLES• THENAR MUSCLES1. Have general origin (lateral side of flexor retinaculum
& lateral 2 carpal bones: scaphoid & trapezium) EXCEPT adductor pollicis (transverse head: 3rd metacarpal bone, oblique head: 2nd & 3rd metacarpal + 2nd & 3rd carpal bones: trapezoid & capitate)
2. Have general insertion (proximal phalanx of thumb) EXCEPT opponens pollicis (1st metacarpal)
• HYPOTHENAR MUSCLES1. Have general origin (medial side of flexor retinaculum
& medial 2 carpal bones: pisiform & hamate2. Have general insertion (proximal phalanx of little
finger) EXCEPT opponens digiti minimi (5th metacarpal bone)
INTRINSIC MUSCLES• LUMBRICALS1. Origin: tendons of FDP2. Insertion: tendons of ED• PALMAR INTEROSSEI1. Origin: metacarpal bone 2. Insertion: proximal phalanx• DORSAL INTEROSSEI1. Origin: adjoining sides of 2 metacarpal bone 2. Insertion: proximal phalanx• PALMARIS BREVIS1. Origin: Palmar aponeurosis 2. Insertion: skin of medial border of hand
ARTERIAL ARCHES IN HAND • SUPERFICIAL
PALMAR ARCH• DEEP PALMAR
ARCH1. Formation2. Site3. Surface anatomy4. Branches
SUPERFICIAL PALMAR ARCH• FORMATION:1. Direct continuation of ulnar artery (mainly)2. Superficial branch of radial artery• SITE: between palmar aponeurosis & long flexor
tendons• SURFACE ANATOMY: level with the distal border
of the fully extended thumb• BRANCHES: digital branches to the medial three &
half fingers• N.B.: Radial artery gives 2 branches that supplies
the lateral one & half fingers:1. Radialis indicis: supplies lateral side of index2. Princeps pollicis: supplies both sides of thumb
DEEP PALMAR ARCH• FORMATION:1. Direct continuation of radial artery (mainly)2. Deep branch of ulnar artery• SITE: between long flexor tendons &
metacarpal bones• SURFACE ANATOMY: lies one inch
proximal to superficial palmar arch• BRANCHES: 1. Branches sharing in anastomosis around
wrist joint2. Articular & muscular branches
