This study systematizes the vascular supply of the carpus, identifying two main systems: the deep system (SAPRUC) and the predominant superficial system (SASRUC). This research clarifies arterial pathways crucial for understanding wrist anatomy and potential surgical interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • The intricate vascularization of the wrist (carpus) is complex and not fully systematized.
  • Understanding the arterial supply is critical for surgical procedures and managing vascular-related pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a systematization of the arterial vascular supply of the carpus.
  • To describe two distinct vascular systems within the carpus based on anatomical axes and convergence points.

Main Methods:

  • Arterial injection and dissection of 79 wrist specimens.
  • Analysis of major longitudinal and transverse axes for arterial pathways.
  • Identification of arterial convergence and divergence zones.

Main Results:

  • Two primary systems of carpal vascular supply were identified: the deep system (SAPRUC) and the superficial system (SASRUC).
  • The deep system (SAPRUC) is periosteal and sub-capsular, representing a remnant of fetal morphology.
  • The superficial system (SASRUC) is predominant, originating from proximal and distal extracapsular pedicles.

Conclusions:

  • A novel systematization of the carpal vascular supply is presented, delineating deep and superficial arterial networks.
  • The findings provide a detailed anatomical framework for the carpus, aiding in surgical planning and understanding vascular variations.
