Incidence of palamris longus muscle and tendon variations: a cadaveric study

Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

Introduction: Palmaris longus muscle is one of the most variable muscles of the human body. Complete agenesis, variation in the location and form of the fleshy portion, aberrancy in attachment, duplication or triplication, accessory tendinous slips, replacing elements are some of the variations commonly encountered. Due to the large variability of the Palmaris longus muscle, we had undertaken this study to estimate the prevalence of this variation in our geographical area.
