Volar flexion of the phalanges relieves tension on the parts; therefore, this position is assumed while the subject is at rest.
This proclivity is constant; the normal interphalangeal articulation is an incomplete ginglymoid joint and while its dorso-volar diameter is great, this in no wise compensates for its disproportionately narrow transverse diameter.
Volar flexion is restrained by the extensor tendons.
Contraction of the superficial digital flexor (perforatus), when uncomplicated, is characterized by volarflexion of the pastern joint.
The foot may contact the ground squarely and yet the leg may remain relaxed and free from pressure; volar flexion, in such cases, is indicative of inflammation of a part of the flexor apparatus.
Pressure on the navicular bone is diminished and tension on the flexor tendon is relieved by even slight volar flexion.
Volar flexion is limited by the extensors of the phalanges.
There is volar flexion of the phalanges when the subject is at rest.
The distal end of the second phalanx (os corona) has but slight lateral motion and this is manifested principally when it is in a state of volar flexion.
There is some evidence of air in the tissue on the volar side too but they are at different levels and this suggests that they gained access to the tissue plans in this fashion.
The purpose in enlarging it was an uncertainty as to the condition of the major nerves in the volar side of the wrist, and so these nerves were identified and explored and found to be intact, as were adjacent tendons.
The wound on the volar surface or the palmar side of his wrist was enlarged.
How about on the volar or front side of the wrist?
The volar surface or palmar surface had a wound disclosed transversely about a half centimeter in length and about 2 centimeters above the flexion crease to the wrist.
Then the wound on the dorsal or back side of the wrist was a little larger than the wound on the volar or palm side of the wrist?
It passed through, not directly through but through at an oblique angle so that it entered more proximal on the dorsal side of the wrist and distal on the volar aspect.
For one thing the clothing, you know, the surgeon found pieces of clothing and the other thing the human anatomy is such that I don't believe it would enter through the volar aspect and out the top.
Could those holes have been caused by a bullet passing through the Governor's wrist from the dorsal or upper portion to the volar or palmar side?
He said he almost overlooked that on the volar aspect of the wrist.
I see, so it might have started on the volar aspect and could have gone on through.
That would be present in either event, though, if you postulated if the bullet struck the dorsal aspect of the wrist, and did not pass through, but only a missile passed through the volar aspect.
I knew that the wound of the wrist had fractured the lower end of the right radius and I saw one large wound on the--I guess you would call it the volar surface of the right arm and a small wound on the dorsum of the right wrist.
And on these wrist wounds, do they show the point of entry to be on the dorsal aspect and the point of exit to be on the volar aspect?
And, on that trajectory, how do you postulate the bullet then passed through the wrist from dorsal to volar or from volar to dorsal?
Wouldn't that same question arise if it went through the volar aspect and exited through the dorsal aspect?
Now, were there any characteristics in the volar aspect which would indicate that it was a wound of exit?
Shaw, there is one factor that we did not call your attention to or have you testify about, and that is--the marking that the exit is on the volar side and the entry is on the dorsal side as it was remarked by Dr.
Gregory's thinking that the path was from the dorsal aspect to the volar aspect.
But could the fragment have carried it from the radial side on it if it had been traveling from the volar side to the radial side?
As a matter of fact, when I first examined Governor Connally's wrist, I did not notice the small wound on the dorsum of the wrist and only saw the much larger wound on the radial side of the volarsurface of the wrist.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "volar" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
