15
Q

How many intrinsic muscles of the hand are there

19

16
Q

What tendons are found in the carpal tunnel

A

Flexor digitorum superficialis
Flexor digitorum profundus
Flexor pollicis longus

17
Q

The synovial sheaths of the 1st and 5th finger and continuous with those for the flexors passing through the carpal tunnel, what is the consequence of this

A

Penetrating wound in the thumb and 5th finger, if they become inflammed or infected it will travel to the carpal tunnel tendons causing carpal tunnel syndrome

18
Q

What is carpal tunnel syndrome

A

compression of median nerve

19
Q

What are the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome

A
  • Overuse of CT tendons
  • Penetrating injury to thumb or pinky
  • normal consequence of pregnancy
20
Q

Why does carpal tunnel occur with pregnancy

A
  • Because entire volume of interstitial fluid in the body increases
21
Q

What are the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome

A
  • Sensory deficiency - lateral 3.5 fingers will have number
  • Motor deficiencies - fully impaired opposition. Partially impaired: flexion of thumb, abduction of thumb
22
Q

What forms the superficial palmar arhc

A

superficial branch of ulnar artery and superficial palmar branch of radial artery

23
Q

Where does the deep palmar arch sit

A

deep to all tendons and just superficial to interosseous muscles

24
