Abstract
The muscular abnormality in the flexor compartment of forearm is less common compared to that of extensor compartment. The anatomical variations and abnormalities of muscles of the forearm and hand have become significant because of new imaging techniques. An unusual and complete additional flexor digitorum profundus muscle to index finger was found bilaterally during routine dissection of a 61 year old male cadaver. Length of additional muscle was approximately 15 cm with spindle shaped belly and long tendon (belly length 5cm, tendon 10 cm. width of belly was 1cm). In provisions of Clinical and functional significance; the knowledge of abnormalities of muscles and their tendons are important to the clinician in appropriate detection of etiology
for symptoms and management of the patient. Acknowledgment of such variations could be useful for the clinicians, hand surgeons and plastic surgeons.
