How should you treat the large muscle in thumb area of your palm that controls when it has been partially transsectioned by a knife?

The correct answer is: Stop the bleeding by applying direct pressure to the wound. Then cover the wound with a sterile dressing. Immobilize the thumb and seek medical attention immediately.

The thenar eminence, also known as the hypothenar eminence, is the fleshy area of the palm of the hand that contains the muscles responsible for controlling the movement of the thumb. The thenar eminence is supplied by the median nerve and the ulnar nerve. A partial transsection of the thenar eminence by a knife can result in damage to these nerves, which can lead to loss of sensation and/or function in the thumb.

If you sustain a partial transsection of the thenar eminence, it is important to stop the bleeding by applying direct pressure to the wound. Then cover the wound with a sterile dressing. Immobilize the thumb and seek medical attention immediately.
