Fig. 7.126 Visualizing the positions of the superficial and deep palmar arches, left hand. The proximal transverse skin crease of the palm and distal wrist crease are labeled and the superficial and deep palmar arches shown in overlay. This also shows the position of the pisiform and the hook of the hamate.
