Sagittal Anatomy Part 2

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Sagittal projection, wrist MRI, anatomy. I'm more

0:04

apt to use the sagittal projection to look at

0:08

the palmar tendon group, like the profundus and

0:12

sublimis tendons, than I am the dorsal group,

0:15

which I tend to use the short axis more avidly.

0:19

If I have a tear or rupture, I will use the

0:22

long axis view to see how big a gap there is

0:26

and where the torn tendon ends are retracted

0:30

to relative to some key bony landmarks.

0:34

I'm going to save a discussion of the ligaments

0:36

for a separate short vignette to keep it simple.

0:40

Now anteriorly, this squiggly structure

0:42

here is the flexor retinaculum, which is the

0:45

anterior boundary of the carpal tunnel space.

0:48

Immediately underneath it, this gray

0:50

longitudinal structure is the median nerve.

0:54

There's the continuation of the median nerve.

0:58

I won't name off the dorsal soft tissue

1:00

extensor tendons as mentioned, but deep

1:03

to them are capsular tissues, which we

1:06

will discuss as part of the TFC complex.
