Accessory muscle of the flexor digitorum superficialis and its clinical implications

Abstract: Anatomical variations of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) muscle and tendon unit are frequently reported by anatomists and clinicians. Anatomical muscle variations of the FDS and its tendons may include variations of muscle belly, presence of accessory or duplicate tendons, abnormal tendon connections, and absence of muscle or tendon components. Such variations may or may not have clinical implications. This report presents a case not described previously: a unilateral accessory muscle of the flexor di… Show more

“…The flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) muscle is the largest forearm muscle and the only forearm muscle at the intermediate layer. 1 The FDS muscle has two origins, a humeral-ulnar and a radial origin. It has four independent tendons running to the long fingers after crossing the carpal tunnel.…”

“…The absence of FDS tendon function has not attracted orthopedic attention because it does not affect hand strength and dexterity in daily activities. 1 3 However, it may lead to misdiagnosis during the clinical examination to assess superficial flexor tendon injuries of the fourth and fifth fingers after trauma. 5 The surgeon must be aware of these variations to better interpret physical examination findings and indicate surgical repair procedures.…”

“…Músculos selecionados para a colocação dos eletrodos de superfícieMusculatura superior:Foram elencados para membro superior: Flexor Superficial de Dedos (FSD) e para membros inferiores: Vasto Lateral (VL), Reto Femoral (RF) e Vasto Medial (VM).Foi escolhido o FSD para membro superior pois trata-se do maior músculo do antebraço.Ele atua sob forma de camada muscular intermediária entre outros grupos musculares superficiais e profundos(CAETANO et al, 2017). Esta musculatura pode ser facilmente apalpada quando o voluntario é solicitado a fazer flexão de dedos, neste momento é possível sentir o movimento do músculo.…”
