Upper Limb Section 7 Flexor Digitorum Profundus Injection.mp4

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video reviews the anatomy of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle and demonstrates an injection procedure using botulinum toxin. The muscle originates at the ulna and interosseous membrane and flexes the distal phalanx of the four medial fingers. The injection is performed in the mid-forearm, targeting specific slips of the muscle. Ultrasound is used to visualize the muscle and adjacent vasculature to avoid complications. Electrical stimulation is utilized to ensure proper needle placement before injecting the botulinum toxin. Post-injection scanning may be done to check for any hematomas.
