The fibularis tertius (FT) is one of three muscles which constitute the anterior compartment of the leg. The anatomical variants of this muscle usually pertain to its origins, number of final tendons or points and shapes of insertions. In this case, it had an additional slip (AS) which originated from the same area as the main muscle belly and after descending along the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) it fused with one of its main tendons.

Article Synopsis
  • The forearm extensor muscle and hand extensor tendons show significant anatomical variability, highlighted during a dissection of a 74-year-old male cadaver.
  • An accessory muscle known as the extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) was discovered, which connected to the extensor indicis (EI) tendon, indicating a rare anatomical variant.
  • This variant has a prevalence rate of 0.36-0.38% in cadaver studies, and understanding such variations is crucial for orthopedic and plastic surgeons to prevent accidental injuries during procedures.

A Unique Bilateral Variation of the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus: A Case Report.

J Funct Morphol Kinesiol

Center for Anatomical Science and Education, Department of Surgery, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, MO 63104, USA.

A novel combination of variations involving the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) muscle group was observed bilaterally in a 75-year-old female cadaver during routine dissection. An accessory tendon was observed arising from the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) and traveling with the primary tendon through the second compartment of the extensor retinaculum. While the primary tendon inserted on the base of the second metacarpal, as is typical of ECRL, the accessory tendon inserted on the base of the third metacarpal.

Congenital three generation wide familial non-syndromic polydactyly.

Congenit Anom (Kyoto)

November 2024

Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Faculty of Medicine, Tekirdağ, Turkey.

Polydactyly is typically observed as isolated and sporadic occurrences, although familial cases do exist, albeit with lower frequency, manifesting in various inheritance patterns. In around 30% of polydactyly cases, there exists a familial history, suggesting the probable involvement of a single gene. Given its potential for hereditary transmission, thorough investigation of the patients' parents, first-degree relatives, grandparents, and even great-grandparents for similar disorders becomes imperative.
