Muscle herniation in the upper extremity is a rare but recognized phenomenon with a paucity of reports in the current literature. In the majority of cases, the herniation is secondary to trauma, with some of the cases due to muscle hypertrophy and increased intra-compartmental pressure from the forced exertion. Treatment for this condition ranges from nonsurgical, repair, or reconstruction to fasciotomy of the flexor carpi ulnaris fascia. Here, we present a case of flexor carpi ulnaris herniation after an open in situ cubital tunnel release in a 57-year-old male 6 years after initial surgery. The patient’s symptoms did not improve with conservative management, and the patient subsequently underwent endoscopic fasciotomy with resolution of his symptoms and maintenance of his wrist and grip strength. The rationale for the treatment chosen is discussed.

Flexor Carpi Ulnaris

Normally exor carpi ulnaris arises as two heads one from humerus and another from ulna. During the routine dissection of undergraduate medical students a rare variation of exor carpi ulnaris was found. A fully developed additional muscle belly was found on the exor compartment of the left forearm. The additional muscle belly was found medial to exor carpi ulnaris and it had a eshy part and a tendinous part. Fleshy part was coming from ulnar head of exor carpi ulnaris and the tendon was getting inserted to exor retinaculum. There was no separate nerve and blood supply to the accessory muscle bers. Variations in the forearm muscles are of utmost importance both anatomically as well as clinically and may be anticipated to avoid complications during reconstructive surgical procedures.

Flexor Carpi Ulnaris

AbstractThis study aimed to describe a staged bilateral z-tenotomy and anastomosis procedure of flexor carpi ulnaris and superficial digital flexor tendons for the correction of carpal valgus and flexural deformity in a 1-year-old male-neutered Akita dog. Bilateral carpal valgus and flexural deformity were observed with palpably taut flexor carpi ulnaris tendons. The dog had a mild, weight-bearing bilateral forelimb lameness with the left forelimb more severely affected. Both forelimbs were treated with staged z-tenotomy and anastomosis procedure of both flexor carpi ulnaris and superficial digital flexor tendons. Successful tendon lengthening and correction of carpal valgus were achieved via z-tenotomy and anastomosis of affected tendons. No complications were observed. An 18-month follow-up revealed no evidence of lameness or carpal valgus. Though tendon injuries commonly occur in small animal patients, there is a shortage of reported cases, especially involving musculotendinous contractures. There are even fewer reports of successful tenotomy procedures. This case report supports successful outcome of the z-tenotomy procedure in a canine patient.

Accessory Muscles

Most of the accessory muscles of the forearm described in the radiology literature are located either in the radial aspect of the forearm or towards the hypothenar eminence. We present an unusual case of an ulnar-sided distal forearm accessory flexor carpi ulnaris muscle presenting as a “pseudotumour“ demonstrated with both ultrasound and MRI, rarely reported in the current surgical and anatomical literature. Given the location and relation to the ulnar nerve towards Guyon’s canal, the accessory muscle may also predispose to distal ulnar nerve entrapment.
