    Summary

    Anatomical variations of the palmaris longus muscle are rare but significant. Awareness is crucial for surgeons as this muscle serves as a valuable graft in tendon surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Hand Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal System

    Background:

    • The palmaris longus muscle is a superficial forearm muscle.
    • Variations in its presence and structure are documented but infrequently encountered in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the clinical significance of palmaris longus muscle variations.
    • To emphasize the importance of recognizing these variations for surgical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Case review of hand surgery procedures over a five-year period.
    • Analysis of anatomical variations encountered in clinical practice.

    Main Results:

    • Three distinct cases of palmaris longus muscle variations were identified.
    • These variations, though rare, were observed in a clinical hand surgery setting.

    Conclusions:

    • Palmaris longus muscle variations, while uncommon, are clinically relevant.
    • Surgeons should be aware of these variations due to the muscle's utility as a tendon graft.
