Q

What are the lumbricles?

A

“Worms” which originate from the tendon of the flexor digitorum profundus. First 2 lumbricles are unipennate, and the remaining are bipennate. They attach to the extensor hood of the finger with common insertion with the extensor digitorum.
Role is to flex the MCP joint and extend ICP joint.

16
Q

What is palmar interosseus muscle?

A

From the metacarpals to proximal phalanges for adduction towards midline of digits 2, 4 and 5, innervated by the ulnar nerve. There are 3 in total.

Thumb has a separate adductor muscle for adductor pollucis brevis and adductor pollucis longus.

17
Q

What is the distal interosseus muscle?

A

Originates from the 2 metacarpals of the proximal phalange. It is important for abduction of digit 2,3 and 4.

Digit 1 and digit 5 have abductors in the thenar and hypothenar eminences.

18
Q

What is the innervation to the muscles of the hand?

A

Mainly supplied by the ulnar nerve.

19
Q

What is the alternative innervation to the hand?

A

Median nerve supplies:
Thenar eminence (opponus pollucis, abductor pollucis brevis and flexor pollucis brevis)
Superficial head of flexor pollucis brevis
Radial side of flexor digitorum profundus
Radial Lumbricles of digit 1 and 2

20
Q

What are the features of the radial lumbricles?

A

Insert into the extensor hood and is innervated from the medial nerve for MCP flexion and ICP extension.

21
Q

What is the function of the lumbricles?

A

Flexion of metacarpoppharyngeal joints and keeps extension of interpharyngeal joint.
Fine precision movements

22
Q

Which intrinsic muscle of the thumb is innervated by the ulnar nerve?

A

Adductor pollucis

23
Q

Which nerve innervated abduction?

A

Median nerve

24
Q

Which nerve innervated adduction?

A

Ulnar nerve

25
Q

Which nerve innervates the movement of flexion and extension?

A

Mixed nerve

26
Q

What is the effect of median nerve lesion?

A

Sensory loss to the majority of the palm excluding half of digit 4 and digit 5
Dorsum of tips of fingers 2 and 3
Finger of Benediction where thumb, digit 2 and 3 remain extended.

27
Q

What is the effect of ulnar nerve lesion?

A

Loss of sensation to digit 4 and 5
Loss of motor to majority of hand muscles, resulting in claw hand.

28
Q

What is the effect of a radial nerve lesion?

A

Weak wrist extension so there is wrist drop
Sensory loss of web between thumb and index

29
Q

What is the carpal tunnel?

A

Space beteeen carpal tunnel and flexor retinaculum. Allows the median nerve and the tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollucis longus to pass through.

30
Q

What is the anatomical snuff box?

A

Region in the dorsal aspect of the hand bordered by the TENDONS of the

ABductor pollucis longus, extensor pollucis longus and extensor pollucis brevis. It contains the trapezoid and scaphoid bone, radial artery and superficial radial nerve.

31
Q

Which muscle is responsible for extension of MCP joint?

A

Extensor digitorum.

32
Q

Which muscle is responsible for flexion of MCP joint?

A

Flexor digitorum and lumbricles

33
Q

Which muscle is responsible for extension of IP joint?

A

Lumbricles.

34
Q

How does the ulnar nerve enter the hand?

A

Guyon’s canal, a connective tissue sheath on the pisiform bone.

35
Q

What is the adductor pollucis?

A

Has a:
->transverse head which arises from the base of metacarpals 2 and 3
->oblique head which arises from the 3rd metacarpal to attach to the proximal phalange of thumb.
Important for thumb adduction innervated by median nerve.

36
Q

Which lumbricles are innervated by ulnar nerve?

A

Digits 3 and 4.

37
Q

What is the blood supply of the deep palmar branch?

A

Formed by the radial artery to supply blood to the thumb and index finger.

38
Q

What is the blood supply of the superficial palmar branch?

A

Formed by the ulnar artery to splurge blood to the deeper structures of the hand. Gives rise to the common digital arteries and proper digital arteries
