In hand surgeries like vascular graft applications arterial repairs, free and pedicled flaps, clinicians should be aware of these variations, because in most of the traumatic events and the surgical procedures of the hand the SPA plays an important role. In the present case, the superficial palmar arch is incomplete and there is no communication between the superficial branches of radial and ulnar arteries. The ulnar artery is giving a proper digital and two common palmar digital branches and the superficial branch of radial artery is giving a common palmar digital branch to supply the half of radial side of middle finger and ulnar side of index finger and radialis indicis supplying the radial side of index finger.&#13;
