which muscles act as borders around scaphoid
The anatomical snuff box or snuffbox is a triangular deepening on the radial, dorsal aspect of the hand âat the level of the carpal bones, specifically, the scaphoid and trapezium bones forming the floor. The lateral border (closest to the edge of the hand) is a pair of parallel and intimate tendons, of the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus. ( 2 Accordingly, the anatomical snuffbox is most visible, having a more pronounced concavity, during thumb extension .).
