ANATOMY OF THE HAND

BONES OF HAND

Total of 27 bones in
.hand and wrist

These are grouped


into carpals, metacarp
.als, and phalanges
CARPAL BONES

All carpal bones participate in


wrist function
except for the pisiform.
The scaphoid serves as link
between each row; therefore, it
is vulnerable to fractures.

The distal row of carpal bones


is strongly attached to the base
of the second and third
metacarpals, forming a fixed
unit.
METACARPALS

The hand contains 5 metacarpals.


First Metacarpal articulates proximally with the trapezium.
The other 4 metacarpals articulate with
the trapezoid, capitate and hamate at the base.
The hand contains 14 phalanges.

All 4 distal carpal bones articulate with the 


metacarpals at the carpometacarpal (CMC)
. joints
COMPARTMENTS OF THE HAND

11 separate Osteofascial compartments:


•DORSAL
INTEROSSEI (4 COMPARTMENTS)
•PALMAR
INTEROSSEI (4 COMPARTMENTS)
•ADDUCTOR POLLICIS
•THENAR
•HYPOTHENAR 

     
EXTRINSIC MUSCLES OF HAND
EXTRINSIC EXTENSORS
All extensors are extrinsic and supplied by radial nerve.
Except for the interosseous-lumbrical complex.

3 wrist extensors

The main extensors at wrist are:
•Extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB)
•Extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL)

THE PULLEY SYSTEM

The pulley system is critical to flexion of the finger.


The retinacular system for each of the fingers contains 5 annular
pulleys and 4 cruciform pulleys.
The thumb has 2 annular pulleys and 1 oblique pulley.
The system supplies mechanical advantage by maintaining the flexor
tendons close to the joint's axis of motion.
In doing so, the pulleys prevent bowstringing.

THE PULLEY
PULLEY SYSTEMOF
SYSTEM OF THE
THE THUMB
THUMB
ARTERIES
Radial and ulnar arteries and their branches provide all the blood
to the hand
A. Radial Artery
Smaller of the 2 terminal branches of the brachial artery
1. superficial palmar branch  superficial palmar arterial
arch
2. princeps pollicis artery – supplies the thumb
3. radialis indicis – supplies lateral side of digit 2
4. deep palmar arterial arch – formed mainly by the radial
artery which joins the deep branch of the ulnar artery
palmar metacarpal arteries – arise from the deep palmar arch,
run distally and join the common palmar digital arteries which
arise from the superficial palmar arterial arch
DORSAL ARTERY OF HAND

Dorsal carpal branch of ulna and


radius

Dorsal carpal arch

Dorsal metacarpal
artery

Dorsal digital artery

Middle & distal phalanges


Palmar proper digital
arteries
ARTERIES
B. Ulnar Artery

Enters the palm on the lateral side of the ulnar nerve superficial to
the flexor retinaculum
- passes lateral to the pisiform bone

1. deep palmar branch deep palmar arterial arch, passes deep


through the hypothenar muscles and anastomoses with the radial
artery
2. superficial palmar arterial arch
- formed mainly by the ulnar artery
- located distal to the deep palmar arch
- gives rise to the three common digital arteries that
anastomoses with the palmar metacarpal arteries from the deep
palmar arch
 each common digital artery divides into a pair of proper palmar
digital arteries which run along the sides of the 2nd to 4th digits
VEINS

Veins generally follow the


deep arterial system as
venae comitantes.
A superficial venous
system also exists at the
dorsum of the hand and
contributes to the
cephalic and basilic veins
in the upper extremity.
