“The Amazing Flexors – A Cadaveric Tour of Flexor Anatomy”

A Two-hour Webinar

Presented By: Shrikant J. Chinchalkar, M.Th.O, B.ScOT, OTR, CHT.

Date: April 23^rd, 2022  Time: 4.00 PM EST

Cost: USD $35.00

 Webinar Description:  

The flexors of the wrist and hand are unique in its architecture, configuration, and excursion. The flexors are well researched clinically than any other musculo-tendinous structures in the upper extremity. As the flexor tendons advance from its origin towards their insertion, these tendons have an intricate interaction with the skeletal structures, fibro-osseous canals, retinacular system, intrinsic muscles and also with the venicular system. The interaction of these tendons, either independent or in unison enables the hand with strength and co-ordination.  This two-hour webinar on the cadaveric tour of the flexors gives an in-depth visualisation of the flexor system functioning. In addition, the cadaveric tour of flexors stimulates deeper understanding of tendon biomechanics and how the tendons flex the fingers and thumb from the position of full extension to flexion.

Please join Shrikant J. Chinchalkar in a detailed cadaveric tour of flexor anatomy of the flexor system, interossei, lumbricals of the hand. The cadaver dissection is performed on the fresh frozen cadavers.  Cadaveric close-up videos reflect the anatomical details which has never been shown before. Portions of this presentation have been presented at many national and international conferences including ASHT annual meetings.

Objectives: 

• To demonstrate the anatomy and function of various structures that forms the flexor system.
• To demonstrate intricate relationship and functioning of each tendon, intrinsics, the retinacular system and the fibro-osseous sheath which contributes to flexion of the digits.
• To discuss the relationship between the flexor & extensors and how they interact at various stages of digital motion.
• To highlight clinical conditions to demonstrate pathological consequences during motion.
• To aid in designing a therapeutic program to improve the outcome.
