Absence of Flexor Carpi Radialis during an Elective Carpometacarpal Arthroplasty of the Thumb: A Rare Anatomical Variation
Purpose. We present an extremely rare anatomical variation of unilateral flexor carpi radialis (FCR) absence. This rare anatomical variation posed a clinical dilemma to us and we highlight the importance of the surgeon being aware of this anatomical variation of an important structure both as a reconstruction tool and as an anatomical landmark. Methods. This anatomical variation of the unilater...
متن کاملAbsence of flexor carpi radialis: A rare anatomical variation with clinical significance
Sir, The importance of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) as a donor muscle in tendon transfers,[1,2] as a tendon graft[3,4] and as an anatomical landmark has been well established. The anatomical variations of FCR are very rare but can have great significance in such cases.[5,6] We report a rare case of congenital absence of FCR muscle found during an elective surgery of bone grafting for scaphoid no...

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND This retrospective analysis focused on a comparison of long-term results in patients who underwent resection of the trapezium with subsequent arthroplasty and tendon suspension using either the abductor pollicis longus (APL) or the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon. METHOD AND MATERIAL Based upon a positive history along with a clinical and radiological examination, 20 pat...
متن کاملExtensor carpi radialis brevis. An anatomical analysis of its origin.
We studied the origin of extensor carpi radialis brevis using 40 fresh frozen human cadaver specimens. Ten were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and trichrome which showed the collagenous structure of the extensor tendons at their origin. Gross anatomical observation showed that there was no definitive separation between brevis and communis at the osseotendinous junction. The histological fi...
