ABSTRACT

Introduction: The extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) muscle is an abnormal muscle originate on the dorsum of the wrist and hand. According to earlier reporters EDBM may originates from various sources like the distal row of the carpal bones or metacarpal bases. The capsule and ligaments of the wrist joint [2] and the dorsum of carpal bones.
Aim of the study is to know Prevalence of variant extensor digitorum brevis manus muscle in dorsum of hand in adult cadavers in south Indian population.
Materials and Methods: Present study carried out with 60 upper limbs to find out the anomalous extensor digitorum brevis manus muscle.
Results: out of 60 cases, study found 2 numbers of variations, one on right and one on left side, incidence was 3.3% in south Indian population.
Conclusion:  Study May useful to hand surgeons and radiologists for the proper diagnosis and treatment.
KEY WORDS: Extensor Digitorum Brevis Manus, Posterior Interosseous Nerve, Upper Limb.
