Description
INTRODUCTION Much has been reported about the variations in palmaris longus muscle in relation to its morphology, origin, insertion, nerve supply and presence or absence in different individuals. Proximally, it is attached to the medial epicondyle of the humerus along with other superficial flexors of the forearm. Distally its long thin tendon forms the superficial portion of the mid palmar fascia (Nigro, 2001). Skin and fascia of the palm and digital webs give attachment to the fibres of palmar fascia. The palmaris longus muscle is innervated by a branch of the median nerve (Linell, 1921; Sunderland & Ray, 1946).
