Harvest of Palmaris Longus Tendon: Technique

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993
We present a modification of Bunnell’s technique for harvest of the palmaris longus tendon. Using a 0.5 cm distal incision and a proximal stab incision the tendon is harvested with minimal scarring and, in our experience of over 30 cases, no morbidity.

The Palmaris Longus Tendon

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1997
The palmaris longus is one of the most variable muscles of the human body. An understanding of its variations is useful as it is often used as a tendon graft and for tendon transfer. We report another interesting variation in its anatomy.

The Extended Palmaris Longus Tendon Graft

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993
A technique is described of increasing the length of a palmaris longus tendon graft by including palmar aponeurosis. The additional 5 cm is often useful in treating high flexor tendon ruptures, especially at the wrist level, without the need for an additional incision.

Variations of palmaris longus.

Handchirurgie, 1979
Although variations of palmaris longus muscle are described in anatomical text books, they are seen rather rarely in practice. Within the last five years of hand surgery we came across threee different cases of such variations described in the above text.

Accessory Palmaris Longus

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Abstract Current medical literature has described many variations of the palmaris longus. One variation that is rarely seen is that of the accessory palmaris longus, which is better known in literature as the “palmaris profundus.” This brief review will describe the anatomy and the developmental origins of the palmaris longus, as well as the ...

The first description of the absence of the palmaris longus muscle

Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2015
While Realdo Colombo from Cremona, Italy has, to date, been acknowledged to be the first to describe the possible absence of the palmaris longus muscle in men in 1559, the authors found this absence to be recorded in the first edition of "De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septum" by Andreas Vesalius, published in 1543.To commemorate Vesalius' 500th ...

A pseudomass of hypertrophied palmaris longus muscle; Simulating a reversed palmaris longus muscle

Cut Palmaris Longus Tendon—To Repair Or Not to Repair?

Hand, 1977
It is suggested in certain circumstances, that a divided palmaris longus tendon should be repaired, as it is an ideal choice for a tendon graft, or could be of use as a tendon transfer. The musculotendinous unit may be of use as an autogenous free graft.

Pharyngo-Palatoplasty with free transplantation of the palmaris longus

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1974
Abstract In order to produce a valvular action in conjunction with velum elevation and sphincteric contraction, the denervated palmaris longus muscle with its tendon split into two has been transplanted to the posterior pharyngeal wall and the tendons passed around the lateral walls into the soft palate. The results in three cases have been good.

Bitendinous palmaris longus muscle.

Bulletin de l'Association des anatomistes, 1997
The palmaris longus is one of the most variable muscles and this should be considered in surgery of the wrist where good orientation is essential. This short note describes an unusual variant which was discovered by Hacettepe University medical students, during routine dissection of the upper limb. Since the palmaris longus provides a very useful graft
