Abstract

UNLABELLED

This study was undertaken to help confirm the percentages concerning the presence or absence of the flexor digitorum brevis muscle tendon to the fifth toe. We also hope to be able to determine the presence based on gender and nationality. It is known to be absent occasionally; however, there is no definitive study dedicated to its prevalence. Using a pool of 60 cadavers, 97 total feet were included in our analysis. Of these feet, 47 (48%) lacked a flexor digitorum brevis tendon to the fifth toe at all. Furthermore, 25 (26%) had notably small tendons to the fifth toe. The final 25 (26%) had what the researchers deemed present tendons. This information could be helpful in surgical planning, including tendon transfer techniques, and biomechanical evaluations. Further research would need to be conducted as this was a cadaveric study.

摘要

未标注

本研究旨在帮助确定第五趾短屈肌腱存在与否的百分比。我们还希望能够根据性别和国籍来确定其存在情况。已知该肌腱偶尔会缺失；然而，尚无专门针对其发生率的确定性研究。我们使用了60具尸体，共97只脚纳入分析。在这些脚中，47只（48%）完全没有第五趾短屈肌腱。此外，25只（26%）的第五趾肌腱明显细小。最后25只（26%）有研究人员认为存在的肌腱。这些信息可能有助于手术规划，包括肌腱转移技术和生物力学评估。由于这是一项尸体研究，还需要进行进一步的研究。
