The correspondingphalanges of the third and fourth fingers can be flexed, this being accompHshedby the unparalyzed ulnar half of the deep flexor. Flexion of the first pha-langes is still possible, as it is accomplished by means of the interossei. Theextensor action of the interossei muscles upon the middle and distal phalanges,being unopposed, may eventually cause subluxation. The sensory distri-bution of the median nerve is shown in Figs. 545 and 547-549. It is the sen-sory nerve of the radial side
