Presence of rare arterial arcade at 1st web space in the right hand and its possible clinical complications.

The thumb muscles require a rich blood supply due to extensive usage of the thumb to do daily chores. The thumb is solely supplied by the branches of the radial artery in most of the individuals. However, there are occasions where it is also supplied by the branches of the palmar arches of the hand...
