Median nerve wrist block. Artwork of a syringe being used to inject a local anaesthetic to numb the median nerve,a procedure known as a nerve block. Nerve blocks applied at the wrist allow surgery to be carried out on the hand. Below the wrist,this nerve provides sensation for two-thirds of the palm,from the thumb to the index and middle fingers,half the ring finger,and distal dorsal surfaces of those fingers (see C016/6836 and C016/6837). This injection is applied between the flexor carpi radialis and palmaris longus tendons. For all three injections for a complete hand nerve block,see C016/6827 to C016/6829 | |
