The advantages of this flap are as follows: (1) the operative field is the same; (2) the radial artery is preserved; (3) it is thin, pliable, and hairless and thus can supply a gliding surface for tendons beneath it; (4) when it involves a palmaris longus tendon and/or the ...

The initial examining physician is key to the treatment pathway the patient will take. A...
During routine cadaveric dissection of the volar surface of the forearm of a South Indian female of 65 years, we came across a variant of occasional/accessory head of the flexor pollicis longus muscle. It was seen bilaterally arising from the deep surface of the flexor digitorum superficialis. ...
supinator - a muscle (especially in the forearm) that produces or assists in supination levator - a muscle that serves to lift some body part (as the eyelid or lip) antagonistic muscle - (physiology) a muscle that opposes the action of another; "the biceps and triceps are antagonistic mus...
presence of suture material on the surface of the tendon have been implicated in causing poor results.33A further factor is that the tightness of the pulleys, which hold the tendons close to the bones when the finger is flexed,14means that the surgeon must not make a bulky repair. Knots ...
The FPLah arose mainly from the under surface of flexor digitorum superficialis, while the FDPah took its origin from the under surface of flexor digitorum superficialis or from the medial epicondyle. The insertion of the FPLah was mainly into the upper third of the FPL tendon, while the ...
At the level of the distal third of the forearm, it gives off a broad tendon. This crosses the superficial surface of the pronator quadratus and enters the hand by passing beneath the flexor retinaculum. Upon entering the hand, the tendon splits into four slips that attach to the palmar s...
In the lower third of the forearm, it gives off a long tendon that passes below the flexor retinaculum into the palmar surface of the hand. Within the flexor retinacular space, the tendon passes through its own synovial sheath. It then crosses the palmar surface of the scaphoid bone and ...
Motorcycle riders must endure high levels of muscle tension for long periods of time, especially in their arms and forearms, when steering and using handlebar controls. Because the right hand operates the gas handle and front brakes, the present research focuses on fatigue in the right hand flex...
