Palmaris longus is a dispensable muscle with a long tendon However, this figure varies considerably in different ethnic which is very useful in reconstructive surgery. It is absent groups. A study by Thompson et al6 on 300 Caucasian 2.8 to 24% of the population depending on the race/ethnicity subjects found that palmaris longus was absent unilaterally in studied. Four hundred and fifty healthy subjects (equally 16%, and bilaterally in 9% of the study sample for an overall distributed among Malaysia’s 3 major ethnic groups) were prevalence of absence of 24%. Similarly, George7 noted on clinically examined for the presence or absence of palmaris 276 cadavers of European descent that its absence was 13% longus. This tendon was found to be absent unilaterally in unilaterally, 8.7% bilaterally for an overall absence of 15.2%. 6.4% of study subjects, and bilaterally in 2.9% of study Another cadaveric study by Vanderhooft8 in Seattle, USA participants. Malays have a high prevalence of palmaris reported its overall absence to be 12%.

  • Wrist Fracture – Advice Following Removal of Your Cast
    Wrist Fracture – advice following removal of your cast A plaster cast usually prevents a fracture from moving, but allows your fingers to move. The cast also reduces pain. What to expect It usually takes four to six weeks for new bone to form to heal your fracture. When the cast is removed most people find that their wrist is stiff, weak and uncomfortable to start with. It may also be prone to swelling and the skin dry or flaky, this is quite normal. It is normal to get some pain after your fracture. If you need painkillers you should take them as prescribed as this will allow you to do your exercises and use your wrist for light activities. You can ask a Pharmacist about over the counter painkillers. If your pain is severe, continuous or excessive you should contact your GP. The new bone gradually matures and becomes stronger over the next few months. It is likely to be tender and may hurt if you bang it. The muscles will be weak initially, but they should gradually build up as you start to use your hand and wrist. When can I start to use my hand and wrist? It is important to try and use your hand and wrist as normally as possible. Start with light activities like fastening buttons, washing your face, eating, turning the pages of books over etc. Build up as pain allows. Avoid lifting a kettle for 4 weeks If I have been given a Wrist splint You may have been given a wrist splint to wear.

  • Intrinsic Hand Muscles of the Japanese Monkey, Macaca Fuscata
    Anthropol.Sci. 102(Suppl.), 85-95,1994 Intrinsic Hand Muscles of the Japanese Monkey, Macaca fuscata TOSHIHIKO HOMMA AND TATSUO SAKAI Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Juntendo University, Hongo 2-1-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan Received December 24, 1993 •ôGH•ô Abstract•ôGS•ô Anatomy of the intrinsic hand muscles in the Japanese monkeys was studied with an improved method to dissect the muscles and nerves in water after removal of the skeletal framework. The thenar eminence contained four muscles, namely m. abductor pollicis brevis, m. opponens pollicis, m, flexor pollicis brevis, and m. adductor pollicis. The hypothenar eminence contained four muscles, namely m. palmaris brevis, m. abductor digiti minimi, m. flexor digiti minimi brevis, and m. opponens digiti minimi. Majority of the thenar muscles are fused more or less with each other, so that clear separation of these muscles was difficult. The lumbrical muscles arose from the palmar parts of four main tendons of the deep flexor muscle to the second, third, fourth, and fifth digits. The mm, contrahentes arose mainly from a medial tendinous septum attached on the palmar surface to the third metacarpus, and included three muscles destined to the second, fourth and fifth digits. The interossei were found on the radial side of the second, third, fourth and fifth finger as well as on the ulnar side of the second, third and fourth finger. The intrinsic hand muscles in the Japanese monkey received innervation either from the median or the ulnar nerve. Branching pattern of these nerves to the individual muscles was fundamentally similar to those in man except for the fact that the median and the ulnar nerve in the Japanese monkey do not communi cateto make a loop in the thenar muscles.

  • Wrist Fracture
    Hand Conditions: WRIST FRACTURE A wrist fracture is a break in one or more of the bones in the wrist. The wrist is made up of the two bones in the forearm called the radius and the ulna. It also includes eight carpal bones. The carpal bones lie between the end of the forearm bones and the bases of the fi ngers. The most commonly fractured carpal bone is called the scaphoid or navicular bone. This fact sheet will focus on fractures of the carpal bones of the wrist. Causes A wrist fracture is caused by trauma to the bones in the wrist. Trauma may be caused by: • Falling on an outstretched arm • Direct blow to the wrist • Severe twist of the wrist Risk Factors Factors that increase your chance of developing a wrist fracture include: • Participating in contact sports, such as football or soccer • Participating in activities such as in-line skating, skateboarding, or bike riding • Participating in any activity which could cause you to fall on your outstretched hand • Violence or high-velocity trauma, such as an automobile accident Symptoms If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume they are due to a wrist fracture. Symptoms of a wrist fracture include. • Pain • Swelling and tenderness around the wrist • Bruising around the wrist • Limited range of wrist or thumb motion • Visible deformity in the wrist For more information visit us online at www.ptandme.com Hand Conditions: WRIST FRACTURE Diagnosis Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined.

  • A Study of Finger Length Relation (Ring Finger & Little Finger Ie 4D5D)
    A Study of Finger Length Relation (Ring finger & little finger i.e. 4D5D) with Human Personality. Dr Devasis Ghosh, Dept. of Psychiatry, Dane Garth, Furness General Hospital, UK. Abstract: Several studies in the past have demonstrated a strong correlation of finger lengths ratio and human personality. This current prospective study attempts to correlate the finger length ratio of the 4th to 5th finger in males and females with the human personality traits --Psychoticism, Neuroticism & Extraversion using EPQ (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire). The hypothesis in this study is that males and females having the tip of the little fingers below the distal finger mark on the adjacent ring fingers in both their outstretched hands (arbitrarily named Group C) will have higher Neuroticism scores (i.e. they will be more anxious, worried, moody, and unstable), compared to the males and females who have the tip of the little fingers above the distal finger mark on the adjacent ring fingers in both their outstretched hands (arbitrarily named Group A). The results of this study shows that Group C females have a significantly higher Neuroticism and Psychoticism scores compared to Group A females. Similarly in case of males the results show that Group C males have a significantly higher Neuroticism and Extraversion scores compared to Group A males. So, there is a genetically predetermined physical marker i.e. whether the tips of the little fingers are above or below the distal finger mark on the adjacent ring fingers in both hands that determines the characteristic personality traits of a person. Key words: Personality; Finger lengths(4D&5D) Introduction: The disproportionate length of human fingers has generated much interest among researchers.

However, this age varies with racial, geographic, Galstaun 1937 9; Basu and Basu 1938 3,4 ; Lal and climatic and various other factors. Study of various text books in 12 et al 8 Anatomy and Radiology exhibits a glaring discrepancy as regards Townsend 1939 ; Gupta . 1974 ). Because of the the ages at which the different epiphyses fuse with the respective existence of such racial, geographic and climatic diaphyses in long bones. These variations have suggested need of variations, need for separate standards of ossification for separate standard of ossification for separate regions. This leads us separate regions have been suggested (Loder et al 1993 14 ; to study ages of epiphyseal union around elbow joint, a rarely Koc et al. 2001 10 ; Crowder et al. 2005 6).
