The presence of such additional tendons in the carpal tunnel cannot be overlooked during the radiological and surgical procedures in this region. Herein, we report a rare case of additional muscle belly of flexor pollicis longus. The additional muscle belly after a short course divided into three tendons. All three tendons entered the carpal tunnel along with flexor pollicis longus, passing deep to the flexor retinaculum. Within the carpal tunnel, two of these tendons fused and terminated by merging with the undersurface of the flexor retinaculum. The third tendon terminated by joining the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon for the index finger, in the palm. An additional slip of the first lumbrical muscle took origin from the third tendon of the additional muscle belly of flexor pollicis longus. Further, the embryological basis and clinical significance of current case is discussed.展开更多

It is often misdiagnosed when it occurs outside the shoulder. We report an unusual case of acute calcific tendinitis of the flexor digitorum superficialis insertion of the 4th finger in a young female martial art athlete after minor trauma history, and discuss with a review of the literature.展开更多

The 6-strand repair technique is rarely applied to the young pediatric population, however, to our knowledge, no English-language articles have described this method of primary repair in zone II of children less than 2 years old. A 13-month-old male presented flexor digitorum profundus repair after lacerating it in zone II on a sharp aluminum can. The tendon was repaired with a 6-strand technique, using a 4.0 Fiberloop for the core suture and 6.0 Prolene for the epitendinous suture. Approximately four months after surgery, the patient developed a palmar collection at the level of his middle phalanx and a serosanguinous sinus tract at the distal interphalangeal crease. During the revision surgery, the inspection of the repaired tendon revealed a small gap filled with scar tissue. There was no evidence of new fistula formation at his final visit one month after the second procedure. After the revision, the patient could move his digit with minimal loss of range of motion at the distal interphalangeal joints. Unfortunately, he was subsequently lost to follow up. This surgical technique was selected to provide a strong repair that would allow the early postoperative movement. In retrospect, a 6-strand repair with braided suture is not ideal in young children as the bulky suture can cause a foreign-body reaction and possibly extrude through the skin. Additionally, the immobilization with a long-arm cast remains a valuable tool after tendon repair in infants who cannot voluntarily restrict their movements.展开更多

However, in recent times, there have been attempts of using fibrous braided structures for the repair of ruptured tendons. In this regard, the numerical analysis of the flexural stiffness of a braided structure under bending moments is vital for understanding its capabilities in the repair of flexor tendons. In this paper, the bending deflection, curvature, contact stresses and flexural bending stiffness in the braided structure due to bending moments are simulated using Finite Element (FE) techniques. Three dimensional geometry and FE models of five sets of biaxial braided structures were developed using a python programming script. The FE models of the hybrid biaxial braids were imported into ABAQUS (v17) for post-processing and analysis. It was established that the braided fabric with largest braid angle, <em>θ</em> = 52.5<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span> had the highest flexural deflection while the lowest deflection was seen in the results of the braided structure with the least braid angle, <em>θ</em> = 38.5<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>. The results in this study also portrayed that the curvature in biaxial braids will increase with a decrease in the angle between the braided yarns. This was also consistent with the change of bending angle of the biaxial structures under a bending moment. The deformation of the structures increased with increase in the braid angles. This implies that the flexural bending stiffness decreased with increase in braid angle. The stress limits during bending of the braided structures were established to be within the range that could be handled by flexor tendons during finger bending.展开更多
