The cadaver of a Caucasian man with a supernumerary fourth dorsal interosseous muscle in the right hand: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The human hand is a complex anatomic entity consisting of many muscles, nerves, and vessels, thus providing a special ability to perform accurate and meticulous movements. In this group of muscles are the four dorsal interosseous muscles. CASE PRESENTATION A distinct supernumerary fourth dorsal interosseous muscle was found in the right hand of the cadaver of a 76-year-old Caucasian man without any other concomitant abnormality. CONCLUSIONS The presence of such an additional muscle in the hand should be considered in the management of hand deformities, whether the treatment is conservative or surgical.

متن کاملPaper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery
Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...
