Prevalence of ulnar-to-median nerve motor fiber anastomosis (Riché-Cannieu communicating branch) in hand: An electrophysiological study

Prevalence of ulnar-to-median nerve motor fiber anastomosis (Riché-Cannieu communicating branch) in hand: An electrophysiological study

Background: Two main muscles studied in the hand for evaluation of median nerve injuries are opponens pollicis (OP) and abductor pollicis brevis (APB). However, Riché-Cannieu communicating branch (RCCB) may limit the use of these muscles in electrodiagnosis. This condition is confusing in the case of median nerve injuries. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of RCCB. &...

Variations in digital sensory patterns: a study of the ulnar nerve-median nerve palmar communicating branch.

Eighty percent of 50 dissected cadaver palms showed a communicating branch between the fourth and third common digital nerves (ulnar and median origins, respectively). The branch commonly crossed the palm with the superficial arterial arch and usually provided sensory fibers from a branch of the superficial ulnar nerve into the ring finger radial digital nerve. Caution should be taken during ca...

Normal Values of Median, Ulnar and Radial Nerves Conduction in Healthy Adults (20-59 years)

ABSTRACT The object of this study is determination of normative values of nerve conduction studies (NCS) among the population of Guilan Province. We selected 216 at the ages of 20-59yr on the basis of their medical histories and examination , and on condition that they had no factors or diseases interfering with nerve conduction by convenience sampling method. In this cross-sectional study, t...

Ulnar Nerve, Its Termination and Superficial Branches in Hand: a Cadaveric Study

Address for Correspondence: Dr. Sudakshina Chakrabarti, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Medical College, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. E-Mail: [email protected] Introduction: Nerves supplying the hand are notoriously variable in their divisions and their course; do not follow any standard pattern. The palmar aspect of hand is supplied by median and ulnar nerve. The clinical ...
