Abstract :

Introduction: The muscular variations of upper limb are not uncommon. Their importance becomes apparent with regard to surgical approaches for various clinical conditions. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and to procure the knowledge of these muscular variations in Telangana population. Materials and Methods: The study was done on 40 adult human cadavers in 2yrs duration in our routine cadaveric dissection for 1st MBBS students in the Department of Anatomy, Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal and Government medical college, Nalgonda, Telangana state. Results: The muscular variations of upper limb, observed in our routine cadaveric dissection are reported in this study. We found a variant muscle on the dorsum of hand, (the extensor digitorum evis manus), an uncommon variation on dorsum of both hands in 50 yrs old male cadaver. In another body we found other variations of muscles of anterior compartment of arm and fore arm. Those are the presence of 3rd head of Biceps achii (accessory belly) and presence of accessory belly (Ganzter’s muscle) for FDP muscle along with another extra belly to PFL in the forearm. The combination of three variations occurring in a 55yrs old male cadaver in both upper limbs is a rare phenomenon. The presence of such variations in upper limb musculature and their clinical significance and literature has been reviewed. Conclusion: This helps in add up knowledge to anatomists and clinicians for their clinical implications
