Detailed anatomical snuff box (tabatière anatomique) dissections reveal consistent artery origins and fat pad presence. Findings offer valuable insights for surgeons operating in this complex wrist region.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Limited detailed literature exists on the tabatière anatomique (anatomical snuff box).
  • Understanding its precise anatomy is crucial for surgical and clinical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide detailed anatomical measurements and observations of the tabatière anatomique.
  • To identify key vascular and nerve structures within this region.

Main Methods:

  • Dissection of 15 adult cadavers (30 sides).
  • Measurement of the tabatière anatomique dimensions.
  • Observation of vascular connections, nerve origins, and soft tissue structures.

Main Results:

  • Average dimensions: 4 cm width, 6 cm length.

  • Dorsalis pollicis artery originated within the snuff box in all specimens.
  • 70% showed connections between cephalic vein and radial artery vena comitantes.
  • A significant fat pad was consistently present, covering the radial artery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The tabatière anatomique exhibits consistent anatomical features relevant to surgical interventions.
    • Detailed knowledge of its vascular and nerve anatomy aids clinicians in procedures involving the wrist and thumb base.
