Anatomic Relationship of Hand Intrinsic Tendons at the Metacarpal Head as It Relates to the Diagnosis of Saddle Syndrome: A Cadaveric Study

The purpose of this cadaveric study was to investigate the intrinsic anatomy surrounding the metacarpal head and the relationship between the interosseous-lumbrical junction (ILJ) and transverse metacarpal ligament (TML) as it pertains to saddle deformity —posttraumatic adhesions at the ILJ that cause impingement during intrinsic activation.
