Author(s): Suyashi Sharma*, Ravi Shankar Sharma, Shilpi Gupta Dixit, Shilpi Gupta Dixit and Surajit Ghatak
The case presented here is of the presence of Extensor medii proprius (EMP)
muscle. It is a variation in extensor group of muscles. Anatomic variations
in musculotendinous structure of forearm and hand are very substantial in
repairing or reconstructing hand injuries. EMP tendon originated from distal
third of ulna. Muscle belly was nearly 1.7 cm in width. In the forearm EMP
was lying deep to Extensor indicis. Phylogenetic comparisons advocate EMP
as evolutionary remnant of normal developmental arrangement. Awareness
of anatomy and variations of extensor tendons is important for health care
practitioners for correct diagnosis and management of pain, disease and
trauma of forearm and hand... Read More»
