Unilateral variant origin of first lumbrical
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
lumbricals, the wing tendons are the intrinsic muscles of hand. They perform flexion at metacarpophalangial joint and extension at interphalangial joint. During routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, we observed unilateral variation in the origin of first lumbrical in the left hand. This variant firstlumbrical got composite origin from the first tendons of flexor digitorumprofundus (FDP) and flexor digitorumsuperficialis (FDS). Rest all lumbricals were normal taking origin solely from FDP tendons.
