Flexor Carpi Radialis Brevis: An Unusual Anomalous Muscle of the Wrist
نویسندگان
چکیده
During imaging studies or surgical procedures, anomalous forearm and wrist muscles are occasionally encountered. Among them, the flexor carpi radialis brevis is very rare. Because the trend is growing toward treating distal radius fractures with volar plating, the flexor carpi radialis brevis is worth knowing. Here, we report two cases with a review of the literature.

Surgical exposure of the Distal Radius in a patient with a flexor carpi radialis brevis muscle anomaly
There are numerous reports of anatomical variants of the muscles of the forearm, particularly the extensors of the wrist and hand. The abnormal deep and short radial wrist flexor (flexor carpi radialis) is rare. There are only two previously reported cases. We present the case of an anomalous 'flexor carpi radialis brevis', muscle found intra-operatively during a volar approach to the distal ra...
متن کاملWrist tendon moment arms: Quantification by imaging and experimental techniques
Subject-specific musculoskeletal models require accurate values of muscle moment arms. The aim of this study was to compare moment arms of wrist tendons obtained from non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to those obtained from an in vitro experimental approach. MRI was performed on ten upper limb cadaveric specimens to obtain the centrelines for the flexor carpi radialis (FCR), flexor ...
متن کاملVariant insertion of extensor carpi radialis longus in a South Indian cadaver
The extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle originates from the distal third of the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus, front of lateral intermuscular septum and from the lateral epicondyle of humerus. The tendon of ECRL along with extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) passes through the second compartment of extensor retinaculum and inserts into the base of second metacarpal bone ...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal balance of the human wrist elucidated using intraoperative laser diffraction.
This review describes a series of experiments in which sarcomere length was measured in human wrist muscles to understand their design. Sarcomere length measurements were combined with studies on cadaveric extremities to generate biomechanical models of human wrist function and to provide insights into the mechanism by which wrist strength balance is achieved. Intraoperative measurements of the...
متن کاملA simulation model of FES for restoring hand grasp in hemiplegia
Purpose: To develop a musculo-skeletal dynamic model for simulating hand grasp by means of FES in paretic hand. Methods: The skeletal model, which consisted of humerus, radius, ulna and bones of hand, was developed from CT data of. The muscle model, which had been designed by Hase, was developed about flexor carpi ulnaris, felxor carpi radialis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis l...
