| Three compartments of hand muscles | Thenar (thumb); Hypothenar (little finger); Central (everything else) |
| Compression of median n. (as in carpal tunnel syndrome) causes: | atrophy of thenar eminence |
| Extensors digitorum & digiti minimi form what on dorsal digit surface? | Extensor hoods |
| Palmaris longus is absent in how many people? | 15% |
| Flexor digitorum tendons: tendon of deeper muscle will: | cross more joints |
| Tendons of FDP pass through: | gap in FDS to reach distal phalanx |
| Flexor digitorum tendons: held tightly to digits with: | fibrous digital sheaths |
| Flexor digitorum tendons: Lubrication of tendons provided by: | synovial sheaths |
| Carpal tunnel: roof = | flexor retinaculum |
| Carpal tunnel: Walls/ floor = | carpal arch |
| Carpal tunnel contains 10 structures: | 4 tendons FDS; 4 tendons FDP; 1 tendon FPL; Median n. |
| Extensor retinaculum: function | Holds tendons of extensors in place |
| Extensor retinaculum = | tendons surrounded by synovial sheaths |
| Common site of synovial (ganglionic) cysts | Extensor retinaculum |
| Medial epicondylitis is due to: | overpronation (golfers elbow) |
| Lateral epicondylitis is due to: | oversupination (tennis elbow) |
| Borders of cubital fossa | Lateral: brachioradialis mx; medial: pronator teres mx |
| Contents of cubital fossa | brachial artery; Median n.; median cubital vein. |
| Flexor retinaculum: proximal skin crease = | radiocarpal joint |
| Flexor retinaculum: distal skin crease = | proximal edge of FR |

| Most commonly injured carpals | Scaphoid (fracture) & Lunate (dislocation ) |
| Movements of the Fingers | MCP joints: Flexion/ extension; Abduction/ adduction; IP joints: Flexion/ extension |
