|
The arteries of the hand from several diversified pattern that pemit classification into well defined categories. Many of the deviations can be explained on an embryological basis.
The superficial volar arch can be divided into 2 large groups: those with complete arches and those with incomplete arches. A complete arch is present in about 76 percent of cases. It is further subdivided into 4 types, based upon the method by which the contributing arteries join. The incomplete arches can be divided into 4 types.
The median artery enters into the formation of the superficial palmar arch in about 10 percent of cases.
There were 6 different pattern of branching of the superficial palmar arch. A reciprocal relationship with respect to size usually occurs between the common palmar digital arteries and the palmar metacarpal arteries of the deep palmar arch.
The deep volar arch is less variable than the superficial arch. Two deep palmar branches of the ulnar artery are usually present, either one or both of which may contribute to the deep arch. The deep arch is complete in 93% of cases. Usually the caliber is reciprocal to that of the superficial arch.
