'''Common Palmar Digital Nerves'''

[[File:Gray815.png|thumb|right|300px|Diagram of the distribution of the cutaneous branches of the ulnar nerve. (Common palmar digital nerves labeled at center right.)]]

The '''Common Palmar Digital Nerves''' are nerves in the human hand that supply the skin and fasciae of the palm, and the flexor tendons in the hand. They are branches of the [[Median Nerve]] and the [[Ulnar Nerve]].

==Anatomy==

The Common Palmar Digital Nerves are derived from the [[Superficial branch of the ulnar nerve|superficial branch]] of the ulnar nerve and the [[Median Nerve]]. They are responsible for the sensory innervation of the palmar aspect of the hand, including the skin and fasciae, and the flexor tendons.

==Function==

The Common Palmar Digital Nerves carry sensory information from the palmar aspect of the hand to the brain. This includes touch, temperature, and pain sensations.

==Clinical significance==

Damage to the Common Palmar Digital Nerves can result in loss of sensation in the areas of the hand that they supply. This can occur as a result of trauma, surgery, or conditions such as [[Carpal Tunnel Syndrome]].
