针刺手三里治疗旋后肌综合征的解剖学研究

An anatomical research on acupuncturing shou san li(LI10)to treat the supinator syndrome

目的:探讨旋后肌综合征的解剖特征与手三里穴针刺治疗的可能机制。方法:解剖观测60例尸体上肢标本。结果:旋后肌管上、下口均由腱性组织参与构成,其宽度分别为(13.8±2.1)mm和(6.2±1.8)mm。桡管内桡侧返血管和桡神经深支伴行进入旋后肌管,直刺15.2mm可刺中旋后肌管内含桡神经深支和桡侧返血管的结缔组织。结论:针刺手三里穴治疗旋后肌综合征可能与此结构特征密切相关。

Objective： To explore anatomical characteristics of the supinator syndrome and to provide possible treatment mechanism of acupuncture of shou san li（LI10）. Methods： 60 adult upper-limb specimens were dissected and observed in 60 adult cadarers. Results： The entrance and exit of supinator tunnel were composed of tendinous tissues. Their widths were （13.8 ± 2.1）mm and （6.2 ± 1.8）mm, respectively. Deep branch of the radial nerve and con comitant radial recurrent vessel within the radial tunnel enter the supinator tunnel. Vertical pricking into 15.2mm could acupuncture connective tissue of deep branch of the radial nerve and radial recurrent vessel. Conclusion： Acupuncture of shou san li（LI10） to treat the supinator syndrome maybe closely correlated with the anatomieal character istics.
