Anatomical variation of the flexor digitorum brevis muscle revisited: a case report from South Indian population
نویسندگان
چکیده
The flexor digitorum brevis muscle (FDB) lies immediately deep to the central part of the plantar aponeurosis. It takes origin from the central part of the plantar aponeurosis, medial tubercle of calcaneal tuberosity and from the medial and lateral intermuscular septa. The FDB divides into four tendons for the lateral four toes. Each tendon is divided into two slips at the base of their proximal phalanges, to allow the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendons, and finally attaches to both sides of the shaft of the middle phalanx [1]. There are some reports available in literature on variations of the FDB reported by various authors [2–5]. To the best of our knowledge, the variant FDB, what we are reporting here is the first case from south Indian population.

First Case Report of Extensor Digitorum Brevis Manus (Edbm) in Iran and Literature Review
During the dissection of a fifty-years old male cadaver with normally fined, we observed a rare variation in the dorsum of its hands in both sides. This variation was abnormal extensor digitorum brevis manus muscle (EDBM), which originated from the dorsum of wrist and inserted to the u]nar side of the index tendon of extensor digitorum muscle. In this case, extensor indicis muscle was absent. I...
متن کاملVariation in median nerve nutritional artery at the distal end of forearm: case report
Background: The median nerve is one of the most important branches of the brachial plexus. Due to the role of the median nerve in sensory and motor innervation of the forearm and hand in the upper limbs, its blood supply is very important. Awareness of variations in the blood supply pattern to this nerve reduces the incidence of necrosis and ischemia of the nerve during surgical and diagnostic ...

Transfer of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) to replace the power of the paralysed extensor digitorum communis and extensor pollicies longus has been described in the literature. However the use of FCU for strengthening flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) is relatively not widely known. In this report the use of the technique is dicussed to successfully restore the strength of the fingers of a l...

The extensor indicis is a narrow, elongated skeletal muscle in the deep layer of the dorsal forearm that originates from the one third of the distal posterior surface of the shaft of ulna below the origin of the extensor pollicis longos and interosseous membrane. It runs through the fourth tendon compartment with the extensor digitorum under the extensor retinaculum. The extensor indicis joins ...

Flexor digitorum brevis is an intrinsic muscle of the sole of the foot that lies immediately superior to the central part of the plantar aponeurosis and inferior to the tendons of flexor digitorum longus. Its flat spindle shaped muscle belly arises as a thin tendon from the medial process of tuber calcanei, proximal part of plantar aponeurosis, intermuscular septa and other adjacent fascial lay...
