Inadvertent Harvest of the Median Nerve Instead of the Palmaris Longus Tendon.
BACKGROUND The palmaris longus tendon is frequently used as a tendon graft or ligament replacement. In rare instances the median nerve has been inadvertently harvested instead of the palmaris longus for use as a tendon. METHODS Nineteen cases in which the median nerve had been mistakenly harvested instead of the palmaris longus tendon were collected from members of the American Society for Su...
متن کاملMorphology of human palmaris longus tendon.
A systematic morphological investigation of human palmaris longus tendons by polarisation microscopy and low angle x-ray diffraction is reported. It is shown that contrary to some previously reported observations, and in common with other tension bearing soft collagenous tissues, the fibres in this tendon are crimped. A new method of preparation of the tissue enabling one to see directly the cr...
متن کاملThe Effect of Presence of Palmaris Longus and Fifth Superficial Flexor Tendons on Median Nerve Surface Area; A Cross-sectional Study with Sonography
Background & Aims: Sonography has enjoyed much attention as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for carpal tunnel syndrome in recent years. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of anatomic variations of existence or absence of palmaris longus and fifth superficial flexor tendons on the sonographic measurement of median nerve surface area in healthy individuals’ wris...
متن کاملAnatomical variations of the palmaris longus muscle including its relation to the median nerve – a proposal for a new classification
BACKGROUND The palmaris longus (PL) muscle is characterised by high morphological diversity, and its tendon crosses the median nerve (MN) at different levels. Due to the fact that the palmaris longus tendon is routinely harvested for reconstruction of other tendons, knowledge of its morphological variations is clinically important. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to suggest a new morpho...
متن کاملUlnar nerve entrapment in Guyon's tunnel by an anomalous palmaris longus muscle with a persisting median artery.
A case of ulnar nerve entrapment in Guyon's tunnel caused by an aberrant palmaris muscle, associated with a patent median artery and duplication of the median nerve, is reported.
