Equally, the sensitive anastomosis between median nerve (MN) and ulnar (UN) in hand, superficial palmar arch (SPA) variants have been broadly publicised to be of clinical surgical significance. In this study, we aim analyse metrically, topographic relations nervous both SPA transverse carpal ligament. Material methods 30 10% formalin-fixed adult human cadavers' hands, readily available at Department Morphology Santa Casa de Sao Paulo School Medical Sciences, dissected order evaluate primarily, formation pattern classified accordance five types proposed by Loukas et al, 2005. Deep dissection henceforth ensued 15 specimens expose MN UN ramus their potential coupling four patterns as suggested Meals & Shaner, modified Bas Kleinert, 1999. Results Amongst our samples, distribution has of: 11 (36.7%) type S-I, 13 (43.4%) S-II, 1 (3.4%) S-III, S-IV 4 (13.4%) S-V. distal found three type-I, one type-III: type-I cases ran profoundly APS, type-III mean distance was </a>1.6 cm distally. Conclusion We able assess a relation hand potentially valuable clinics surgery; nonetheless, encourage forward study regard.
