Abstract:
The treatment objective in the five-finger hand is to create an opposable thumb with two phalanges and a first web space having a normal appearance. We report three cases of pollicization of the most radial finger in two patients evaluated by the Percival Score. Currently, the treatment of reference of five-finger hand is the pollicization of the most radial finger. We present a particular technical enhancement, which is the adaptation to a shorter osseous skeleton and the utilization of extrinsic or intrinsic motors present in the radial side of the hand.

Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...
Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
