Flexor carpi radialis brevis: A systematic review with cadaveric case analysis
Background
Variant muscles such as the flexor carpi radialis brevis (FCRB) can have significant implications in orthopedic practice and hand function. However, a thorough biomechanical analysis and systematic review of FCRB are missing from the clinical literature. The purpose of this study is to conduct a biomechanical analysis of a FCRB and discuss its clinical implications in the context of a systematic review.
Methods
A FCRB was discovered during routine dissection of a human cadaver. Gross parameters of the muscle were collected, and the muscle was photographed. A tissue sample was collected and processed for histological analysis. Mean postmortem fixed sarcomere lengths were measured via digital light microscopy to calculate a normalized maximal isometric force (Fmax). The PRISMA 2020 framework was employed in conducting a systematic review of the literature.
Results
The 2.81 g unilateral right FCRB was unipennate in form. It originated along the anterolateral distal third of the radius and inserted onto the tubercle of the trapezium. The FCRB presented in a semi-contracted state. Normalization of the FCRB fascicle lengths yielded a Fmax of 13.38 N. Systematic review of 43 relevant articles suggests a mean FCRB prevalence of 3.12%.
Conclusions
A biomechanical analysis of a FCRB muscle, systematic review of FCRB articles, and a meta-analysis of FCRB pooled prevalence adds new and important information to the literature, providing improved context for discussing FCRB cases. Results from this study may serve as a useful reference for orthopedic physicians, radiologists, physical and occupational therapists, clinical anatomists, and medical educators.
期刊介绍:
Translational Research in Anatomy is an international peer-reviewed and open access journal that publishes high-quality original papers. Focusing on translational research, the journal aims to disseminate the knowledge that is gained in the basic science of anatomy and to apply it to the diagnosis and treatment of human pathology in order to improve individual patient well-being. Topics published in Translational Research in Anatomy include anatomy in all of its aspects, especially those that have application to other scientific disciplines including the health sciences: • gross anatomy • neuroanatomy • histology • immunohistochemistry • comparative anatomy • embryology • molecular biology • microscopic anatomy • forensics • imaging/radiology • medical education Priority will be given to studies that clearly articulate their relevance to the broader aspects of anatomy and how they can impact patient care.Strengthening the ties between morphological research and medicine will foster collaboration between anatomists and physicians. Therefore, Translational Research in Anatomy will serve as a platform for communication and understanding between the disciplines of anatomy and medicine and will aid in the dissemination of anatomical research. The journal accepts the following article types: 1. Review articles 2. Original research papers 3. New state-of-the-art methods of research in the field of anatomy including imaging, dissection methods, medical devices and quantitation 4. Education papers (teaching technologies/methods in medical education in anatomy) 5. Commentaries 6. Letters to the Editor 7. Selected conference papers 8. Case Reports
