Abstract

Flexor carpi radialis [ FCR] is a superficial flexor muscle of forearm and show variations in pattern of origin, abnormal fusion with other muscles, as well as insertion pattern. The objective of the study was to enumerate variations of FCR muscle and to establish a clinico-anatomical correlation. The present study was conducted on bilateral upper limbs of thirty cadavers, irrespective of sex, over a period of four years. The study revealed two abnormal pattern of origin of FCR in two cadavers. In one cadaver, FCR has additional B/L head of origin from Biceps tendon insertion. In another cadaver, U/L fused origin of FCR with Pronator teres was found. This study has relevant implication related to clinical and radiological diagnosis of neurovascular compression involving forearm, and also various reconstructive surgeries involving forearm structures.
