Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:17

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.4K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Muscles that Move the Forearm

3.7K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendinitis presents as uncommon volar radial wrist pain.
  • It poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for clinicians.
  • Successful management algorithms are crucial for this condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a series of patients with FCR tendinitis.
  • To demonstrate successful management using a senior author-developed algorithm.
  • To evaluate patient outcomes based on the FCR algorithm.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients treated for FCR tendinitis.
  • Treatment guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative findings of FCR tendon rupture percentage.
  • Algorithm categorized treatment into conservative, FCR-sparing surgery, or FCR-sacrificing surgery based on rupture severity.

Main Results:

  • Sixteen patients were treated; 5 conservatively, 11 surgically.
  • Conservative treatment yielded complete symptom relief in 3 of 5 patients.
  • All 11 surgical patients achieved satisfactory functional and clinical outcomes, with procedures tailored to rupture severity (<50% vs. >50%).

Conclusions:

  • The presented FCR algorithm demonstrates acceptable patient outcomes.
  • Utilizing 50% tendon involvement as a benchmark effectively guides treatment decisions.
  • This algorithm offers a structured approach to managing FCR tendinitis.
