We present a report of an anatomical variation, the function of which is unclear. An anomalous, independent tendon to the thumb was accompanied by an accessory supernumerary tendon to the extensor indicis. This particular variation has not previously been described and was discovered during routine dissection of a male cadaveric upper limb. It is important to revisit these variations of anatomy as they may be relevant to explain clinical signs or during surgical procedures as detailed in this report.
我们报告了一种解剖变异情况,其功能尚不清楚。一条至拇指的异常独立肌腱伴有一条至示指伸肌的额外副肌腱。这种特殊变异此前未曾有过描述,是在一具男性尸体上肢的常规解剖过程中发现的。重新审视这些解剖变异很重要,因为如本报告中所详述的,它们可能与解释临床体征或手术操作有关。
