Recommended Hand Dissections / Approaches
Finger 1 – Remove nail, Midline split germinal matrix and appreciated proximity of
terminal extensor insertion to matrix, continue dorsal midline incision to MCPJ to
appreciate extensor hood – identify intrinsics, Triangular ligament, ORL, transverse
retinacular ligament, sagittal bands.
Finger 1 – Chamay approach to PIPJ
Finger 1 – cut FDP at insertion and see how far retracts
Finger 2 – mucous cyst rotation flap for DIPJ coverage
Finger 2 – volar midline incision and perform Z-plasties
Finger 2 – reveal all pulleys and identify each then release between A2 and A4 to
expose volar plate and perform joint release – check reign ligament (preserve transverse
digital artery), VP, access collaterals.
Finger 3 – Mid-lateral approach
Finger 3 – Perform trigger release then expand incision to see boundries of A2 pulley
Finger 3 – release all pulleys to view chiasm and by pulling on FDS in palm and observe
it gripping FDP with finger held in extension
Finger 3 – extend incision proximally to view lumbrical attachment to FDP and distal
tendon passing volar to deep transverse MC lig
Finger 3 – dissection out pulleys and tendons to view collateral insertion at PIPJ on volar
1/3 of MP
Finger 4 – Cross finger and reverse cross finger flap
Finger 4 – TATA procedure
Finger – Kite flap, Quaba flap
Fingers 1-4 flexor repairs
Thumb – Moberg flap
Thumb – Expose nerves and follow to CT and follow FPL to wrist
Thumb – see pulley and do trigger release
Hand – CTD, see in base of CT where carpal bones lie
Hand – Extend CTD distally to see Sup palmer arch and follow median nerve to common
digital nerves, find recurrent motor branch of median nerve .
Hand – Wagner approach to trapezium and Bennets fractures – raise FCR graft for
eaton littler procedure around trapezium
Hand – Dorsal approach to trapezium
Hand – Guyons Canal release and see fascicles of ulna nerve

Dorsal - Midline approach, step cut in ER, Berger approach to wrist, SLIL view and prox
scaphoid, PIN and AIN neurectomy from posterior
Dorsal – 5th EC enter DRUJ and preserve and repair TFCC, see stability of DRUJ before
and after cutting TFCC
Dorsal – PIA flap
Dorsal – PIN decompression proximally
Berger flap
Kocher approach - radial head
Misc. additional dissections
Lateral arm flap
Ulna nerve decompression and view FCU branches and MCN A and FA
Flexor sheath washout
