Palmaris longus muscle variants: Well known, but what’s new?
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Classically, the palmaris longus muscle (PL) starts from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and from the adjacent intermuscular septa and deep fascia, then continues into a long tendon, which passes superficial to the flexor retinaculum and after crossing it, the tendon broadens out to become into a flat sheath which incorporated into the palmar aponeurosis. Finally, knowledge of the reported and the novel anatomical variants, as well as proposed novel classifications discovered in anatomical or surgical journals, such as the IJAV, is so important to successful knowledge and outcomes in the clinical practice.
