Evaluation Of Methods

Finger dynamography is a bedside technique for evaluation of the moving abilities and working space of the hand. Various operative procedures used for correcting the claw finger deformity restore the functional abilities to a varying extent. The palmaris longus transfer with insertion into A1–A2 pulley appears to be a better procedure than lateral band insertion, extensor diversion or extensor many-tail procedures. The use of palmaris longus as a motor seems to have advantages over flexor digitorum superficialis transfer where removal of FDS as a motor produces local deficits.

Little Finger

We examined 150 men and 150 women aged 18–40 years to assess flexor digitorum superficialis function to the little finger and the incidence of palmaris longus absence. All patients had flexor digitorum superficialis function to the little finger assessed by standard and modified tests. The presence or absence of palmaris longus was assessed by clinical inspection. Following modified testing, ten subjects (14 hands) displayed absolute superficialis deficiency to the little finger. Forty-nine subjects had unilateral absence of palmaris longus (16%). This tendon was absent bilaterally in 26 subjects (9%). On combining the clinical findings, one subject had unilateral absence of flexor digitorum superficialis function to the little finger with contralateral absence of palmaris longus, and one subject had bilateral absence of flexor digitorium superficialis function with unilateral absence of palmaris longus. We conclude that there is no link between an absent little finger flexor digitorium superficialis and an absent palmaris longus.

Extensor Carpi Radialis

A retrospective study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of different muscles as motors in modified lasso procedures for correction of finger clawing in leprosy. It was observed that palmaris longus and extensor carpi radialis longus were more suitable than the flexor digitorum superficialis. In some patients, removal of superficialis is associated with complications which could not be predicted before surgery. Extensor carpi radialis longus has advantages over palmaris longus in selected cases.

Arabian Population

Introduction. Congenital Palmaris Longus (PL) absence was found in 15%–20.25% of population globally. This condition and Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) tendon absence in little finger are not known in Saudi Arabia. We studied prevalence of PL and FDS agenesis in Saudi Arabian population. Methods. A random cross-sectional study was carried out after an ethical approval in the Riyadh universities. Schaeffer’s test was used to examine PL absence. The Modified test was used to examine FDS absence. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel and the SPSS Software version 22. Results. The volunteers, 331, males 164 (49.5%) and females 167 (50.5%), mean age of 23 (SD ± 5.3), showed right hand dominance in 294 (88.8%) and bilateral absence of PL and FDS in 15.1% and 14.8%, respectively. The hand dominance showed no significant relation between PL and FDS absence, p value = 0.788, 0.835, respectively. Generally, we found a weak correlation between absence of the PL and FDS, p value ≥ 0.595. Conclusion. The bilateral absence of PL and FDS was found as 15.1% and 14.8%, respectively. Variation of the FDS tendon absence was an independent entity for the PL absence. The dominance of hands was not related to the tested variables found in PL and FDS agenesis.
