A study on morphological variants of human superficial palmar arch and their clinical importance
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Superficial palmar arch is a linkage between superficial branch of the radial artery and ulnar artery. According to traditional concept the arch is mainly fed by the ulnar artery. But there occur a lot of variations in the formation of superficial palmar arch. This study was done in 92 hands from the adult human cadavers. The cadavers were well fixed with 10% formalin solution in the department of anatomy of Hi-Tech Medical College, Bhubaneswar and MKCG Medical College, Berhampur. The different pattern of formation of superficial palmar arch was then observed. Among the specimens 76 hands had the classical morphology i.e. formed between superficial branch of radial artery and ulnar artery. In 1st variant i.e. in two hands the arch was incomplete and formed by the superficial branch of the ulnar artery alone. In the 2nd variant i.e. in two cases the arch was there like the normal pattern but there was another bridging vessel in between the two main vessels. In the 3rd variant i.e. in 10 cases the arch was in between superficial branch of ulnar artery and Arteriaradialisindicis. In the 4th variant i.e. in two cases the arch was formed by only ulnar artery and the Arteriaradialisindicis had risen from the arch. Keywords:Superficial palmar arch, variation
