Accessory slips of the extensor digiti minimi.

چکیده
During the educational dissection of a 69-year-old Chinese male cadaver, an extensor digiti minimi (EDM) with five slips on the right hand was discovered. Except for the two slips of the little finger, the two radial slips were inserted into the dorsal aponeurosis of the middle finger and the ring finger, respectively. The middle slip was connected to the junctura tendinum in the fourth intermetacarpal spaces. Variations in this region are of paramount importance for the reconstructive surgeons, who may utilize the accessory slips to restore functional capacity of the fingers.

Introduction Awareness of potential variations in muscular organization and routing of tendinous insertions is essential for those in medical education, practice, and research. In the upper limb the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle originates from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus by the common extensor tendon and from the posterior aspect of the proximal half of the ulna to insert on the base...

The extensor digitorum muscle (EDM) originates from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus via the common extensor tendon, the adjacent intermuscular septa and the antebrachial fascia. It divides distally into four tendons which pass in a common synovial sheath with the tendon of extensor indicis, through a tunnel under the extensor retinaculum and diverge on the dorsum of the hand, one to each ...

Variations of the abductor digiti minimi muscle are a rare occurrence as compared to anomalous thenar musculature. Surgico-anatomical basis of such accessory muscular slips should be discussed in detail. This case report presents a rare bilateral existence of accessory slips of abductor digiti minimi originating from the antebrachial fascia and flexor retinaculum in a male cadaver. Hypertrophy ...
متن کاملVariant extensor muscles on the dorsum of the hand
Usually the dorsal surface of the hand is devoid of muscle bellies, it only contains the tendons of the extensor muscles of the hand. Between the dorsal carpal ligament and the carpal bones six compartments are formed for the passage of tendons. Found on the dorsum of the hand are the tendons of the extensor pollicis longus, extensor digitorum communis, extensor indicis (extensor indicis propri...

Ulnar nerve compression at wrist is manifested either pathologically due to ganglia or neoplasms, or anatomically by the presence of accessory muscles in the hypothenar region. Accessory abductor digiti minimi muscle is an additional muscle encountered rarely in the wrist; presence of which causes high risk of ulnar neuropathy. We report here a case of unilateral accessory abductor digiti minim...
