A Flexor Carpi Radialis Brevis Muscle With an Anomalous Origin on the Distal Radius

Symptomatic Flexor Carpi Radialis Brevis: Case Report

“…In some cases, the muscle occupies the radial insertion of pronator quadratus and causes hypoplasia of the pronator muscle. 3,4 The FCRB tendon usually passes beneath the FCR tendon and has various sites of insertion, such as the second, third or forth metacarpal, trapezium, and capitate. [1][2][3][4][5] The FCR and FCRB tendons were found in the same compartment in all studies.…”

Flexor Carpi Radialis Brevis Muscle Presenting as a Painful Forearm Mass: Case Report

“…12 Two recent reports highlighted the presence of the FCRB and provided a good review of its description and classification. 7,8 Dodds identified the anomalous muscle during specimen preparation for biomechanical testing, and Kang et al reported the identification of the muscle in a living person. In both instances, the described FCRB travelled along with the FCR across the wrist, but 1 tendon did not cross over the other.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] We report the case of an anomalous flexor muscle, FCRB, that was the apparent cause of a painful, volar-radial wrist mass. Although the FCRB muscle has been described as an anatomic variant, [7][8][9][10][11][12] it has never been described as being clinically symptomatic.…”

Tendinous flexor carpi radialis: A case report

“…Hence, the initial muscular portion was only present in the superficial aspect and the FCR on its entire length was ten dinous in its deep aspect. There are various reports stating the existence of FCR brevis [2][3][4][5][6] , but there were no reports of tendinous FCR reported so far based on our literature search, which makes this variant case of FCR the first to be reported.…”
