Abstract

Tendon variations related to extensor muscles of the hand in both upper extremities were detected during the routine dissection of a 70-year-old male cadaver. Even if one nerve supplying the muscles with the same function and different nerve supplies is injured, the function can be preserved partly because the movement is tolerated by other muscles. If there is a common tendon among these muscles, the movement is not lost. Due to the tendon between extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis muscles, these muscles move together and their function is strengthened. The tendons of extensor muscles help stabilize the hand during forced graping and provide the loosness needed for sensitive finger movements independent from each other. Knowledge of normal anatomy and variations in the tendons of extensor muscles is important for identification of accessory tendons and repair of the functions.

Özet

Yetmiş yaşındaki bir erkek kadavranın rutin diseksiyonu sırasında, her iki üst ekstremitede ele ekstensiyon yaptıran kaslara ait tendon varyasyonlarına rastlanmıştır. Aynı fonksiyonu olan ve farklı sinirler tarafından uyarılan kaslardan birini uyaran sinir kopsa, hareket diğer kaslar ile telafi edileceği için fonksiyon kısmen yapılabilir. Bu kaslar arasında ortak tendon varsa hareket bozulmaz. M.extensor carpi radialis longus ve m.extensor carpi radialis brevis arasında bulunan tendondan dolayı kaslar birlikte hareket ederler ve fonksiyonları kuvvetlenir. Ekstensör kasların tendonları güçlü kavrama esnasında elin stabilize edilmesine yardımcı olur ve hassas parmak hareketlerinin birbirinden bağımsız şekilde yapılması için gerekli olan gevşekliği sağlar. Ekstensör kasların tendonlarının normal anatomisinin ve varyasyonlarının bilinmesi, fazla tendonların tespiti ve fonksiyonların tamiri açısından önemlidir.
