| medial border of forearm | An imaginary line extrapolated from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the styloid process of the ulna, forming a border between the anterior and posterior surfaces. Synonym: margo medialis antebrachii, margo ulnaris antebrachii, ulnar margin of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| medial cutaneous nerve of forearm | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, passes downward in company with the brachial artery and then the basilic vein, and supplies the skin of the anterior and ulnar surfaces of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii medialis, medial cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median vein of forearm | It begins at the base of the dorsum of the thumb, curves around the radial side, ascends the middle of the forearm, and just below the bend of the elbow divides into the intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins; sometimes it divides lower down, one branch going to the basilic vein, the other to the intermediate vein of the elbow. Synonym: vena intermedia antebrachii, intermediate antebrachial vein, intermediate vein of forearm, median vein of forearm, vena mediana antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pronation of forearm | Rotation of the forearm in such a way that the palm of the hand faces backward when the arm is in the anatomical position, or downward when the arm is extended at a right angle to the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep fascia of forearm | It is continuous with the brachial fascia; in the region of the wrist it forms two thickened bands, the extensor and flexor retinacula. Synonym: fascia antebrachii, deep fascia of forearm, fascia of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate vein of forearm | It begins at the base of the dorsum of the thumb, curves around the radial side, ascends the middle of the forearm, and just below the bend of the elbow divides into the intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins; sometimes it divides lower down, one branch going to the basilic vein, the other to the intermediate vein of the elbow. Synonym: vena intermedia antebrachii, intermediate antebrachial vein, intermediate vein of forearm, median vein of forearm, vena mediana antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous membrane of forearm | The dense membrane that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and ulna, forming the radioulnar syndesmosis, and with the bones separating the flexor and extensor compartments of the forearm. Synonym: membrana interossea antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar margin of forearm | An imaginary line extrapolated from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the styloid process of the ulna, forming a border between the anterior and posterior surfaces. Synonym: margo medialis antebrachii, margo ulnaris antebrachii, ulnar margin of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fascia of forearm | It is continuous with the brachial fascia; in the region of the wrist it forms two thickened bands, the extensor and flexor retinacula. Synonym: fascia antebrachii, deep fascia of forearm, fascia of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor retinaculum of forearm | Thickening of distal antebrachial fascia just proximal to radiocarpal (wrist) joint. Continuous with extensor retinaculum at margins of forearm. This structure is distinct from the transverse carpal ligament, commonly called "the flexor retinaculum," which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. Synonym: flexor retinaculum of forearm, palmar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| forearm | <anatomy> That part of the arm or fore limb between the elbow and wrist; the antibrachium. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| forearm fractures | <radiology> Monteggia proximal ulnar fracture dislocated radial head, Galeazzi radial fracture dislocated distal ulna, mnemonic: MUGR (Monteggia ulna, Galeazzi radius), Monteggia More common (12 Dec 1998) |
| forearm injuries | Injuries to the part of the upper limb of the body between the wrist and elbow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lateral border of forearm | An imaginary line running along the outermost extent of the forearm separating anterior and posterior surfaces laterally. Synonym: margo lateralis antebrachii, margo radialis antebrachii, radial border of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm | <anatomy, nerve> The terminal cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous nerve that emerges between bicips brachii and brachialis muscles to supply the skin of the radial side of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii lateralis, lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
