Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Annularis: A Unique Progressive Variation in the Forearm
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Atypical separation of long flexor tendons of the forearm is contemplated as progressive variation. Flexor digitorum superficialis annularis muscle of the ring finger was observed in the superficial strata of the forearm flexor compartment. Its origin, insertion, nerve supply, morphology and morphometry are described in this report. Awareness about the incidence of such rare variant muscle is critical for operating surgeons and anatomists.
