Abstract
The flexor digitorum superficialis muscle has been grouped as a retrogressive muscle as it represents remnants of connections between two sheets of muscles. The muscular abnormality in the flexor compartment of the forearm is less common as compared to that of the extensor compartment. During routine dissection of front of the forearm for undergraduate students in the department of Anatomy, Integral Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Lucknow, U.P. India we observed that the FDS in both right and left forearms divided into only 3 tendons (instead of 4) for the ring, middle and index fingers. There was bilateral absence of tendon for the little finger. Also, no other variations were noted in the course and insertion of the remaining FDS tendons. The muscle was normally supplied by a branch of median nerve in the forearm. Variants of the FDS muscle of the little finger have been reported in the literature. Proper knowledge of muscular variations is essential not only for anatomists but also for orthosurgeons and plastic surgeons.
