Accessory Extensor Indicis: A Case Report with Its Clinical Significance.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: The extensor indicis muscle belongs to the deep set of muscles of the extensor compartment of the forearm. Variations of muscles of extensor compartment are very common especially extensor indicis muscle during dissection as well as surgery. Method & Result: Variation of extensor indicis muscle was observed in a formalin fixed specimen during routine dissection as accessory muscle. Accessory Extensor Indicis muscle was having two tendinous slips. One slip of tendon got inserted into the tendon of extensor digitorum and dorsal aspect of the capsule of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the middle finger while other one which was comparatively thin got merged with the fascia on the dorsal aspect of hand. Conclusion: The addi¬tional bellies can be used for grafting purpose if there is injury to any muscle. The knowledge of these variations are important for clinicians as well as surgeons.
