Abstract:

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. In the present study, we argue about the historical origine, clinical importance and muscular nomenclature.

Bunnell recorded two cases of an atavistic extensor brevis in 1942, but by 1956 had found only one further case.

Extensor Digitorum Brevis Manus: A Comprehensive Review of this Variant Muscle of the Dorsal Hand

The extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) is a variant muscle located on the dorsum of the hand. This variant of the fourth compartment has often eluded preoperative diagnosis and led to unnecessary repeat visits to the operating room owing to its lack of notoriety. As a result, we aim to review the literature concerning the EDBM with respect to its embryology, comparative anatomy and variants...

Unusual Vascular Supply to Extensor Digitorum Brevis

Lower limb reconstruction after a traumatic event has always been a challenge for plastic surgeons. The reliability of vessel integrity postinjury often drives us away from a local reconstructive option. With the advancement of computed tomography angiogram, it can not only demonstrate the continuation of major vessels but also helps to map the vascular supply at a perforator level. We hereby r...
