Exempel på radialis

• The muscle selected for the experiment was the flexor carpi radialis.

• The extensor carpi radialis longus muscle is inserted on the dorsal surface and the flexor carpi radialis muscle on the volar surface of the base.

• Technique for transferring the m. extensor carpi radialis longus: the m. extensor carpi radialis longus tendon is divided at its insertion on the second metacarpal.

• At the carpal joints longus acts in dorsiflexion with the extensor carpi ulnaris and in radial abduction with the flexor carpi radialis.

• Small arteries beginning from arteria radialis downwards to the periphery have smooth muscles in order to open (vasodilation) and close (vasoconstriction).

• To restore independent flexion of the index finger could be performed by using the pronator teres or extensor carpi radialis ulnaris tendon muscle units.

• It will also allow the transfer of the other muscles crossing the elbow joint (like the m. brachioradialis and m. extensor carpi radialis longus).

• A common site of occurrence is along the extensor carpi radialis brevis as it passes over the dorsum of the wrist joint.

• The m. extensor carpi radialis longus can be transferred to the flexor digitorum profundus or flexor pollicis longus.

• The 2nd compartment contains extensors carpi radialis longus and brevis.

• This palmar cutaneous branch travels in a separate fascial groove adjacent to the flexor carpi radialis and then superficial to the flexor retinaculum.

• Specifically, these extensor muscles include the anoconeus muscle, the supinator, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti, and extensor carpi ulnaris.

• The extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus are both weak flexors at the elbow joint.

• Different mechanisms have been developed for the automatic noninvasive palpation on the arteria radialis.

• The first branch of the median nerve is to the pronator teres muscle, then the flexor carpi radialis, the palmaris longus and the flexor digitorum superficialis.
