Video Summary

In this video, the demonstrator discusses the anatomy of the palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis muscles, as well as the interval between the radial artery and flexor carpi radialis. They mark out an incision at the level of the wrist crease and make their way through the tissue to the sheath of the flexor carpi radialis. The FCR tendon is then retracted to expose the floor of the sheath and the median nerve. The radial scaphocapotate ligament is incised, allowing for the elevation of flaps. The volar foot process of the trapezium is removed, revealing the distal pole of the scaphoid. Two F4-5K wires are inserted to aid in manipulative reduction and a cannulated wire is loaded. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
