Intramuscular Martin-gruber Anastomosis

چکیده
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 the anterior interosseous nerve and the ulnar nerve. CONCLUSION : The purpose of intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis, which we found in 5% of dissected limbs, is to supply the flexor digitorum profundus muscle and it is unlikely to have any influence on the innervation of the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Level of Evidence IV, Cases Series.

Clinical 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...

Background: Martin-Gruber anastomosis (MGA) is the well known anostomosis that occur at the various levels between the median and ulnar nerves. This anastomosis involves axons leaving either the main trunk of median nerve or the anterior interosseous nerve, crossing through the forearm to join the ulnar nerve. Knowledge of the incidence of this anastomosis is necessary because MGA can cause con...

Martin-Gruber anastomosis (MGA) is a well described anostomosis between the median and ulnar nerves in various levels. MGA involves axons leaving either the main trunk of median nerve or the anterior interosseous nerve, crossing through the forearm to join the ulnar nerve and it’s insidence was reported as %10-40. The incidence of this anastomosis is important so that it can cause confusion in ...
متن کاملNormal median nerve proximal latency in carpal tunnel syndrome: a clue to coexisting Martin-Gruber anastomosis.
Five of 65 patients referred for electrodiagnosis because of clinical evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome were found to have near normal latency on proximal stimulation of the median nerve, although the distal motor latency was prolonged. In one patient, the proximal latency was actually shorter than the distal latency. The failure of the proximal latency to be prolonged in proportion to the dis...
