Which tendon bounds the anatomical snuff box medially?

Which artery is palpated when taking the pulse from anatomical snuff box?
Ans radial Explanation • Anastomical box (ASB) has the radial (A) artery as one of its contents. - Radial artery pulsations can be felt in the ASB over the scaphoid and trapezium bones in the floor. • Brachial (B) artery is the content of cubital fossa. It divides into radial and ulnar artery in the fossa itself. • Ulnar (C) artery is a branch of brachial artery which is present in the cubital fossa and passes superficial to the flexor retinaculum to reach the palm. • Ulnar artery gives common interosseous artery which further gives the branches - anterior and posterior interosseous arteries. None of the interosseous (D) arteries enter the anatomical snuff box. • Anatomical snuff box is bounded by the 2 long tendons - Abductor pollicis longus (APL) at the antero-lateral wall and extensor pollicis longus (EPL) at the postero-medial wall. - Extensor pollicis brevis accompanies the abductor pollicis longus, so that the two extensor tendons are at the opposite walls. - de Quervain's tenosynovitis affects the antero-lateral wall of the anatomical snuff box and the tendons involved are APL and EPB. • Floor of the fossa has four bones in the proximal to distal sequence: Radial styloid process → Scaphoid → Trapezium → Base of first metacarpal. - Fracture of scaphoid produces tenderness in the anatomical snuff box. • Roof of the ASB is formed by the skin fascia and 2 import structures are observed here: Cutaneous branch of radial nerve and cephalic vein. • Anatomical snuff box becomes prominent on lateral aspect of the wrist, when the thumb is fully extended.

How do you break the anatomical snuff box?
Breaking the anatomical snuff box, which is located on the back of the hand at the base of the thumb, usually occurs from a direct blow or trauma. This may result in a fracture of the scaphoid bone or other nearby bones. To confirm a fracture, medical imaging like X-rays or CT scans is typically used. Treatment options can include immobilization, casting, or surgery, depending on the severity and type of fracture.
