Multi-Tendon Abductor Pollicis Longus Muscle and its Clinical Significance

Abstract

Accessory tendons of the abductor pollicis longus muscle with variable insertions are a recurrent variation. Anatomical variations in this muscle group have profound clinical importance due to their significance during surgical intervention and correlation with wrist pathology. We are highlighting the importance of anatomical anomalies for the clinical operative setting with a rare case of a multi-tendon abductor pollicis longus insertion.
