Variations in the extensor compartment of forearm are common and are significant to neurologists, surgeons and anatomists. The present case report describes a well-developed muscle belly medial to the tendons of extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis. Muscle belly is originating from common extensor origin on lateral epicondyle and is inserted to base of third metacar...

Background: Thumb pulp defects are commonly due to avulsion injuries. The choice of reconstructive procedure for thumb depends on the amount and type tissue lost. First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery (FDMA) flap is a versatile method with minimum donor site morbidity which provides protective sensation, adequate length, stability good mobility. Method: This study was done over period 2 years involved...

skeletal abnormalities are most often used to describe defects in the arms or legs that are associated with genes or chromosomes, or that occur due to an event that happens during pregnancy. spider lamb syndrome (sls) is a congenital disorder in sheep breeding that is recognized by some deformities in skeletal system especially in the limbs.a dead day-old cross-breed white lamb with deformed li...

Traumatic dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint is a relatively uncommon injury. The dislocation may be easily reducible (ie, simple) or require surgical intervention (ie, complex). The flexor tendons, lumbrical muscle, natatory ligament, and superficial transverse metacarpal ligament combine with the displaced volar plate to create a tight noose, preventing reduction. Surgical approach ...

Proper case selection, rigid stabilization, and efforts to prevent or treat infection will improve the success rate of metacarpal and metatarsal bone fractures in the horse. Metacarpal and metatarsal fractures in horses need not be associated with a poor prognosis. Authors’ addresses: Depts. of Veterinary Clinical Sciences (McClure and Hawkins) and Veterinary Pathobiology (Glickman and Glickman...

The adductor pollicis muscle was studied in fifty hands of Japanese adult cadavers of both sexes. The radial portion of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle has carpal and metacarpal origins and an insertion into the wing tendon of the extensor apparatus. This portion was located dorsal to the palmar metacarpophalangeal articular nerve and superficial palmar metacarpal artery. Thus,...
