Martin-Gruber anastomosis revisited.
Based on a study of 70 human cadavers (31 male, 39 female) and on cases described previously, we propose a new classification of the Martin-Gruber anastomosis, a neural connection between the median and ulnar nerves in the forearm. The anastomosis was found in 16 (22.9%) cadavers, being bilateral in three (18.7%) and unilateral in 13 (81.3%), five right and eight left. It occurred in eight (25....
متن کاملIntramuscular Martin-gruber Anastomosis
OBJECTIVE : This paper reports the incidence, origin, course and anatomical relationships of intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis. METHODS : Anatomical dissection of 100 limbs from 50 adults cadavers was performed. The intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis was found in five forearms, three in the right and two in the left side, one was bilateral. All communication were located between th...
متن کاملMartin-Gruber anastomosis and transposition in cubital tunnel.
This describes the indivisible anastomosis of the main stem of median nerve with ulnar nerve through cubital tunnel followed by the anomaly of ulnar artery that appears as superficial ulnar artery. Both anomalies are found during the anatomical dissection of a grown-up male cadaver, on his right arm. Such case is very rare as, in the literature available to us, it has not been described.
متن کاملClinical repercussions of Martin-Gruber anastomosis: anatomical study.
OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to describe Martin-Gruber anastomosis anatomically and to recognize its clinical repercussions. METHOD 100 forearms of 50 adult cadavers were dissected in an anatomy laboratory. The dissection was performed by means of a midline incision along the entire forearm and the lower third of the upper arm. Two flaps including skin and subcutaneous tissu...
متن کاملMarinacci communication: an electrophysiological study.
OBJECTIVE Prevalence of Martin-Gruber anastomosis, an anomalous median-to-ulnar forearm communication, is well reported in literature while Marinacci communication, the reverse of Martin-Gruber with a forearm ulnar-to-median communication is under-recognized. We systematically evaluated the presence of Marinacci communication in a series of patients referred for electrophysiological studies. ...
