Morphological study of lumbrical muscles in human cadaveric hands
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The lumbrical muscles of hand, by producing flexion at metacarpo phalangeal (MCP) joints and extension at interphalangeal joints help in writing, stitching and other forms of precision work. Hence philosophically, it may be said that the actions of lumbrical muscles of hand are indices of civilization of a race.1 The variations in origin, insertion and nerve supply may cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Their hypertrophy may cause compression of radial and ulnar collateral arteries leading to chronic subischemia. Also they may cause surgical complications in hand surgeries. So this study has been undertaken to know about morphology and morphometry of lumbrical muscles in human hands.
