The prevalence of the palmaris longus (PL) muscle varies more than any other muscle in the
human body. Its absence across the world ranges between 1.5% and 63.9%. It presents with …

We report a systematic review and a proportion meta‐analysis of prevalence studies
evaluating the prevalence of palmaris longus agenesis (PLA) in the literature. The overall …

Background The palmaris longus (PL) muscle is characterised by high morphological
diversity, and its tendon crosses the median nerve (MN) at different levels. Due to the fact …

Purpose The palmaris longus (PL) muscle is characterized by high-morphological variability.
It is clinically important as it is routinely harvested for the reconstruction of other tendons …

The aim of our paper was to provide comprehensive data on the prevalence of absence of
palmaris longus muscle (PLM) and its anatomical characteristics and conduct two separate …

Background: Palmaris Longus is being widely used in reconstructive, plastic and cosmetic
surgeries due to its long tendon. It is the most readily available source for tendon grafting …

The muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm often exhibit anatomic variations.
During dissection of the upper right limb of a preserved cadaver, morphological variations in …

Purpose: The bulbospongiosus muscle is part of the superficial muscular layer of the
perineum and pelvic floor. Its morphology remains controversial in the literature. Therefore …

The palmaris longus is harvested as a tendon graft in various surgical procedures. Several
tests are used to assess the presence of palmaris longus tendon. In the present study, we …

Most of the studies published on the palmaris longus (PL) prevalence are by physical
examina tion methods. None of the reported prevalence studies in Arab populations are …
