Anomalous Insertion

A case of bilateral insertion of flexor pollicis longus to the proximal as well as the distal phalanges is reported. Initially, this case was diagnosed as congenital absence of the flexor pollicis longus, but surgery revealed an intact tendon, with the abnormality only present in the site of insertion. A survey of the literature on congenital abnormalities of flexor pollicis longus failed to reveal any reports of similar abnormalities.

In this paper, we report a case of a 23-year-old male patient with bilateral absence of the flexor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis brevis muscles with an intact functioning opponens pollicis and flexor pollicis longus muscles with bilateral thenar atrophy due to its rarity. All physical, neurological, ultrasonographic, direct radiographic, electromyographic and MRI studies were used to confirm and document this congenital anomaly.

We report a rare case of absence of the flexor pollicis longus in a hypoplastic right thumb, without hypoplasia of the thenar muscles in an 11-year-old girl, who was treated by transfer of flexor digitorum superficialis of the ring finger to the thumb to achieve active flexion at the interphalangeal joint of the thumb.

Flexor Pollicis Longus

Congenital absence of the flexor pollicis Iongus, associated with hypoplasia of the thumb, is an unusual anomaly. A case of congenital absence of the flexor pollicis longus without hypoplasia or aplasia of the thumb and thenar muscles, which is described, is very rare. Surgical treatment for the transfer of the ring finger flexor superficialis tendon to provide the thumb interphalangeal joint with flexion resulted in a significant improvement in pinch.
