Fig. 3From: An overview of neuromuscular ultrasound of important small nervesSonoanatomy of the terminal branches of the median nerve at the palm. Short-axis views of the terminal branches of the median nerve at different levels. A The median nerve seen bifurcating into three terminal branches (RTB, LCB, MCP) at the proximal palm distal to the carpal tunnel. B A level distal to level A: the three branches divert away. C The palmar digital nerves at the distal palm proximal to the digits. The nerves appear as small honeycomb structures running between the flexor tendons, accompanied by the digital arteries. D The digital nerves at the metacarpophalangeal joint: medial and lateral digital nerves lie on each side of the digital artery between the flexor tendonsBack to article page
