		The lateral eminence consists of the Brachioradialis and the Extensores carpi radiales longus and brevis, and descends from the lateral supracondylar ridge in the direction of the styloid process of the radius.
		The medial eminence comprises the Extensor digitorum communis, Extensor digiti quinti proprius, and the Extensor carpi ulnaris; it begins at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus as a tapering mass which is separated above from the Anconæus by a well-marked furrow, and below from the Pronator teres and Flexor group by the ulnar furrow.
		The muscles of the hand are principally concerned, as regards surface form, in producing the thenar and hypothenar eminences, and cannot be individually distinguished; the thenar eminence, on the radial side, is larger and rounder than the hypothenar, which is a long narrow elevation along the ulnar side of the palm.

		His Eminence is the official style or standard of address in reference to a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.
		The thenar eminence is the body of muscle on the palm of the human hand just beneath the thumb.
		It is not in the thenar group of muscles however, so is supplied by the ulnar nerve.

		A soft tissue mass was detected in the area of the thenar eminence on examination.
		The surgeon resected that portion of the tumor that could be removed without removing the median nerve, leaving a portion of the tumor in the carpal tunnel area of the left wrist.
		The surgeon noted at the end of November 1991 that the radial forearm flap of the thenar eminence looked good and that the veteran was moving his hand well.

		• Marie and Foix describe wasting of thenar eminence from neuromata of median nerve proximal to transverse carpal ligament.
		• The carpal tunnel is topographically defined from the proximal wrist flexion crease to distal border of the thenar eminence.
		The palmar cutaneous branch innervates skin over the base of the thenar eminence, and arises a short distance proximal to the flexor retinaculum (not involved in carpal tunnel compression).

	Thenar Eminence Pain
		When I squeezed the right thenar eminence, the patient hollered, pulled her hand away and began rubbing it with her other hand.
		Adjusting her relieved the pain in her right thenar eminence; she has remained pain-free ever since, except for a few relapses over the years.
		I have checked the thenar eminence test in conjunction with the percussion test for Tinel's sign; the Phalen wrist-flexion test; and the carpal tunnel compression test to see if this positive result could, in fact, be a form of carpal tunnel syndrome.

		The veteran experiences some loss of sensation in the thenar eminence, palm, and fourth and fifth fingers, some loss of grip strength, and is able to flex his wrist to 75 percent of normal.
		In June 1989, the veteran consulted an orthopedic surgeon, complaining of intermittent pain in the surgical scar and numbness in the thenar eminence.
		There was diminished pin prick in the thenar eminence and the palm of the hand, as well as the fourth and fifth fingers.

		The penetration of the recurrent motor branch into the thenar musculature lies at the intersection of the cardinal line and the proximal continuation of the radial border of the long finger (3).
		Hobbs, et al.,[23] dissected 25 cadaver hands and found that the manual area of the palm innervated by the PCB of the median nerve extended distally from the wrist 4 cm and radially from the edge of the thenar eminence to a line drawn in line with the radial edge of the ring finger (Fig.

		It would be the Thenar Line, also described (very erroneously indeed) as the Line of Life, which runs from a point midway along the radial side of the palm in a circular course toward the wrist and which defines the territory, or perimeters, of the Thenar Eminence.
		Where the Thenar Line restricts the dimensions of the Thenar Eminence, but moreso where the Thenar Eminence appears flat and of deficient volume, so too would there be a powerful influence restricting the warmth and empathy which the individual would invest in others.
		The Hypothenar Eminence describes the individual's inner world environment and defines the emotional implications for that individual which each of his, or her, experiences may inspire.

		The long thenar crease partially encircles the thenar eminence and overlies the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint.
		The thenar eminence is formed by the extensor pollicis brevis and the 3 short thenar muscles: the abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, and opponens pollicis.
		Dimpling over the thenar eminence suggests complex dislocation of the MCP joint of the thumb.

		The three thenar muscles produce the thenar eminence and are chiefly responsible for opposition of the thumb (flexion and medial rotation of the thumb when grasping or touching the fingers).
		Unlike the thenar muscles, which are innervated by the recurrent branch of the medial nerve, the adductor pollicis is innervated by the deep branch of the ulnar nerve.
		The three hypothenar muscles form the hypothenar eminence and are concerned with movements of the fifth digit.

		This area of the hand (which is popularly referred to as the Mount of Mars) is the seat of those instinctual energies which have a person confront directly and aggressively whatever stands between this person and his objectives.
		An expression of Freud's life instinct, the more prominent the development in this area of the thenar eminence the more would the individual be inclined to realize his ambitions in this fashion.
		Largely a subconscious quarter in the psyche, where this area of the hand is as we find it here in the instance of Ariel Sharon, we must account for an alert and immediate responsiveness to these needs and drives.
