Palmaris Longus - Upside Down!!!!
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Palmaris longus muscle is a very well known muscle for variations. It can be absent, digastric, duplicated, having proximal tendon. These variations are important in grafting surgeries like tendon transfer, ptosis correction, lip augmentations which use the muscle as a graft. Here, we reported a rare variation of palmaris longus in the form of proximal tendon, middle belly and distal tendon which is continuous with palmar aponeurosis. In the same cadaver, plantaris muscle also dissected to note the variation.
