MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF VARIATION IN SUPERFICIAL PALMAR ARCH

Dr Rahul Kharate, Mr. Prakash Mane

Abstract :

 Variation in the anatomical arterial anastomoses of the hand is frequently reported.  The aim of this study is to establish the morphological features of superficial palmar arch–types (complete or incomplete), anastomotic pattern, variations and measurement of arch in relation to surface landmarks.The specimens of upper limb were obtained from the department of anatomy MGM Medical college Then morphological and morphometric features of superficial palmar arch were noted– In the present study the complete superficial palmar arch was present in 93.33% cases out of that ulnar–radial type (I) present in 60% cases and ulnar–median type(II) present in 33.33% cases and incomplete superficial palmar arch(III) was present in 6.67% cases .The knowledge of superficial palmar arch is important for surgical procedures of hand.Variations in the terminations of the radial artery & ulnar arteries are common. This anatomic study confirms the presence of collateral supply in hand.
