Palmar Side

18
Q

Is the median nerve volar or dorsal

A

Volar

19
Q

Which Carpal Bones define the boundaries of the carpal tunnel

A

Laterally: Scaphoid & Trapezium tubercles
Medially: Pisiform and Hook of Hamate

20
Q

Role of flexor retinaculum in creating the carpal tunnel

A

Turns the carpal arch into the carpal tunnel by bridging the space between the medial & lateral parts of the arch

It is a thick connective tissue which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel

21

What nerve is in the carpal tunnel

A

Median Nerve

22

Which tendons are in the carpal tunnel

A

Flexor Pollicis Longus
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis
Flexor Digitorum Profundus

23
Q

Function of the Retinacula

A

Fixing the tendons to the wrist

Preventing bow-stringing & sideways sliding

24
Q

Describe the finger pulley system

A

FDS & FDP are closesly fixed t ophalanges by a fibro-osseus tunnel formed by fibrous arches
- Provides biomechanical stability and prevents bowstringing

25
Q

Describe the spread of the FDS & FDP tendons towards the distal phalanges

A

the FDS tendons split into 2 slips which divide around the FDP tendon and insert into the middle phalanx
- Allows FDP tendon to continue to distal phalanx

26

A

Trapezium & Scaphoid

30
Q

Which direction is thumb abduction

A

Perpendicular/Away from hand anteriorly

31
Q
