In this report we describe an unusual combination of anatomical variations in the left upper extremity. A rare case of a variant palmaris longus muscle, an unknown variation of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and a persistent median artery were discovered during routine anatomical dissection. The anatomical aspects of these variations have been discussed in detail. We also review the clinical l...

Background: The Palmaris longus (PL) muscle is one of the most anatomically variable muscles in human body. presence or absence tendon relevant information to hand and plastic surgeons. can be harvested for reconstructive surgeries, transfer facial paralysis, repair ptosis, arthritis thumb oncologic defects head neck. Therefore, this study aimed at identifying incidence PL its association with ...

Chronic infections and ulceration around the tendo Achillis are difficult to manage. Split-skin grafts do not survive even on healthy exposed tendon. Refractory cases may require plastic surgical intervention with the use of free flaps. Patients with significant vascular disease are not suitable for such techniques. Flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer is an established treatment for chronic ...
