Anatomy at Risk App

"Does your patient have a lacerated hand or wrist?"
"Are you about to make an incision in the hand or wrist?"

The Anatomic at Risk APP will identify the anatomical structures and physical exams relevant to any potential damaged structure in all the specific hand and wrist sections.

The Anatomic at Risk App simplifies the evaluation and  surgical exploration of skin lacerations and the safe surgical dissection of the hand or wrist by identifying the at risk anatomic structures involved with all dorsal and palmar anatomic locations.

The Anatomic at Risk App provides an instant education and review of the anatomic structures related to any laceration or incision that the treating physician, the point of care medical provider, or the surgical trainee will need for their injured or operative patient.

By simply identifying the location of a laceration or incision, a list of the anatomical structures related to any hand or wrist area are instantaneously identified. The anatomy and exam for each unique location is elucidated by immediately available, concise and separate anatomy and exam summary videos.

Additional understanding of each section’s tendons, nerves, arteries, veins, joints, and bones is amplified by educational text, key points lists, anatomy and surgical images and diagrams which further explain each structure’s unique anatomical and physical exam details.

Each tendon, nerve, artery, vein, joint, and bone discussion is supported by references, the universal muscle grading scale, anatomic abbreviation lists and links to Hand Surgery Resource.

Anatomy at Risk, Hand Surgery Resource, and its App, Hand Surgery Source, are educational assets of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand(IFSSH).
