The ulnar digital artery in the index finger and the radial digital artery of the little finger are typically dominant. These findings are crucial for planning successful digit revascularization procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Understanding the dominance patterns of palmar digital arteries is essential for reconstructive surgery.
  • Variations in digital artery anatomy can impact surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dominance patterns of palmar digital arteries in the fingers.
  • To provide anatomical insights relevant to digital revascularization and reconstructive procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Examination of palmar digital artery dominance in 39 fresh cadaver arms using colored latex injection.
  • Photoplethysmographic studies were conducted on 20 hands to assess arterial flow dynamics.

Main Results:

  • The ulnar digital artery of the index finger and the radial digital artery of the little finger were consistently dominant.

  • The non-dominant digital arteries were often slim or hypoplastic, indicating a clear pattern of vascular dominance.

    • Conclusions:

    • The identified dominance patterns of palmar digital arteries have significant implications for surgical planning.
    • These findings can guide strategies for digit revascularization, digital island-flaps, and toe transfers, potentially improving patient outcomes.
