Abstract
We investigated the cutaneous innervation of the distal palm, an area frequently dissected by the hand surgeon. Ten (five paired) fresh-frozen cadaveric hands were dissected under 3.0× loupe magnification. Volar branches were found on both sides in the majority of digits. They originated alongside, or at the proximal margin of, the A1 pulley in 84% of digits. The mean distance from the palmar digital crease to the origin of volar branches was 21 mm.
