Abstract :Objective: The present study is to document and provide information about both normal and variable morphology of the deep palmar arch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DPA); in adult human cadavers by the dissection method. Materials and Methods: We examined 12 upper extremities insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6 cadavers);. After the classification of the vascular patterns of DPA and its branches, measurements of the vessel diameters were carried out using a digital compass. Results: Deep palmar arch was found as a completed arch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(100%); in all cases. The anastomosis between the distal deep palmar branch of the ulnar artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DPBUA); and the terminal branch of the radial artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RA); was the most common type in our study. The incidence of the DPA was reported as a complete arch ranging from 54.9% to 100%. Palmar metacarpal arteries insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MPAs); originating from the DPA were divided into four branches insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25%); in three cases and three branches insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(75%); in nine cases. The mean diameter of the MPAs at the point of origin at the DPA was between 0.3 mm and 0.6 mm. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of the DPA branching diameters in the hand will facilitate surgical and radiological approaches and contribute to a constantly expanding knowledge base in literature.
