description Introduction: The hand, as the most distal region of the upper limb, plays a crucial role in enabling fine motor skills and gripping abilities. It houses a complex system of palmodigital structures known as pulleys that support the functioning of flexor tendons during finger movements. Injuries to these pulleys can lead to aesthetic and functional impairments, significantly impacting patients' work capacity and quality of life. Hence, understanding these structures should be of great interest to medical professionals. Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using Medline, employing controlled terminology and advanced search equations. This review gathered 26 articles that describe the morphofunctional characteristics of the human hand's flexor pulley system and its functional implications in the event of traumatic injuries. Results: The II-V fingers possess five pulleys located between annular and cruciate regions, with annular pulleys 2 and 4 playing a pivotal role in the functioning and sliding of the flexor apparatus. In the I finger, the oblique pulley stabilizes the gripping system; however, injuries to this pulley can affect the vascular supply provided by the synovial sheaths, resulting in severe functional losses. Conclusions: The digital pulleys' specific location, configuration, and mechanism of action contribute significantly to the evolutionary advantage of the human hand, facilitating various gripping and pinching actions for daily activities. Nevertheless, their subcutaneous placement and exposure to high loads during certain work and sports activities make them susceptible to injuries, leading to motor disabilities and deformities.

Su lesión puede manifestarse con alteraciones estéticas y funcionales que comprometen la capacidad laboral y la calidad de vida de los pacientes es por ello que su conocimiento debe ser motivo de interés para el personal médico. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión de la literatura en Medline, utilizando terminología controlada y ecuaciones de búsqueda avanzada, recopilando 26 artículos que permitieron conocer la descripción morfofuncional del sistema de poleas flexoras de la mano humana y los compromisos funcionales ante su lesión traumática. Resultados: Los dedos II-V cuentan con 8 poleas entre anulares y cruciadas, de las cuales las anulares 2 y 4 son las más importantes para el funcionamiento y deslizamiento del aparato flexor. En el I dedo la polea oblicua estabiliza el sistema de agarre, sin embargo, sus lesiones pueden afectar el sistema vascular proporcionado a través de las vainas sinoviales generando pérdidas funcionales graves. Conclusiones: La ubicación, conformación y mecanismo de acción de las poleas digitales confiere un gran nivel de evolución a la mano humana al facilitar diversas formas de agarre y pinza para las actividades diarias, pero también está altamente expuesto a lesiones por ser subcutáneo y estar sometido a altas cargas en algunas actividades laborales y/o deportivas lo que conlleva a lesiones con incapacidad motora y/o deformidad.application/pdfspaPontificia Universidad Javeriana Calihttps://revistas.javerianacali.edu.co/index.php/salutemscientiaspiritus/article/view/1367/1172Derechos de autor 2023 Salutem Scientia Spiritushttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0Salutem Scientia Spiritus; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2023): Revista Salutem Scientia Spiritus; 88-96Salutem Scientia Spiritus; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2023): Revista Salutem Scientia Spiritus; 88-962463-1426Lesión de polea flexoraAnatomía del tendón flexorLesión de manoAnatomía de la manoLesión del tendónFlexor pulley injuryFlexor tendón anatomyHand injuryHand anatomyTendón injuryAnatomic description of flexor pulley system.
