The idiom let sleeping dogs lie means not to stir up old conflicts or provoke an argument over unresolved issues. It is often better to agree to disagree and move forward rather than trigger hostilities over an ongoing difference of opinion.
There are many muscles in the forearm. In the anterior compartment, they are split into three categories; superficial, intermediate and deep. In general, muscles in the anterior compartment of the forearm perform flexion at the wrist and fingers, and pronation.he superficial muscles in the anterior compartment are the flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis and pronator teres. They all originate from a common tendon, which arises from the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
Elbow flexion and extension are painful, but are better tolerated than finger or wrist movement. When the dorsal compartment is involved, sensation to the hand and fingers is usually normal, because the posterior interosseous nerve has no sensory component. There often is weakness of thumb, finger, and wrist extension.otor weakness to the fingers may be present, but is often difficult to assess due to pain and swelling. A convex-shaped palm can be associated with compartment syndrome. Physical examination of the hand for compartment syndrome is very difficult.
