Anomalous Extensor Indicis Proprius Muscle

چکیده
79 Anatomic variations in the musculotendinous structure of the hand and wrist are particularly important in repairing or reconstruction of hand injuries. We report here an extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon with an unusual appearance, which is associated with dorsal wrist pain. A 30-year-old man who worked as a cook presented with a painful mass-like lesion on the dorsum of the right hand (Fig. 1). The pain had been aggravated recently by forceful movement of the wrist over the previous 2 months, especially during cooking. At first, it was thought to be a ganglion. However, because the aspiration test was negative, it was clinically considered to be tenosynovitis. Because conservative management failed to relieve his symptoms, a sonographic examination was performed (Fig. 2). Anomalous muscle was identified, and the patient underwent surgical treatment.

An Anomalous Muscle in the Forearm Extensor Compartment
The presence of additional muscles in the forearm extensor compartment is frequently encountered during surgical procedures and anatomical dissections. There are several types of anomalous muscles such as the extensor indicis proprius, the extensor digitorum brevis manus, the extensor medii proprius, and the extensor indicis et medii communis that have been previously reported in the medical li...
متن کاملBilateral extensor medii proprius with split tendon of extensor indicis proprius, a rare anatomical variant.
The extensor medii proprius (EMP) is anomalous extensor muscle of the hand. During the routine dissection of a 78-year-old Chinese male cadaver, bilateral EMP and extensor indicis proprius (EIP) were observed in the upper limbs. The EMP originated from the distal third of the ulna and its tendon was inserted into the dorsal aponeurosis of the middle finger on both hands. The tendon of EIP was s...
متن کاملExtensor indicis proprius transfer for rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon.
We reviewed 21 patients with 22 ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus at a mean of 5.3 years after transfer of the extensor indicis proprius tendon. Of these, 19 with 21 transfers described the result as good, and two as fair. The mean deficit of extension between the operated and unoperated thumbs was 1.4 cm, and the mean flexion deficit 0.6 cm. Pressure gauge measurements showed that the s...
متن کاملA variant of extensor medii proprius: A case report
Introduction Variations of human hand extensor muscles have been previously described [1]. The extensor medii proprius (EMP) is one such variation reported with an incidence ranging from 0.8% (2 out of 263 specimens) [2], to 10.3% (6 out of 58 dissected hands) [3]. The EMP often co-exists with the extensor indicis muscle or its variant, the extensor indicis proprius on one hand or both hands [1...
متن کاملExtensor indicis proprius and extensor digitorum communis rupture after volar locked plating of the distal radius--a case report.
Distal radius fractures are among the most commonly encountered fractures in the extremities. Volar plating of distal radius fracture has gained popularity in recent years with the introduction of the locked plating system. Complications of volar plating include extensor and flexor tendon rupture. Here we present a case report of an extensor indicis proprius and extensor digitorum communis to i...
