A doubled flexor carpi radialis muscle.
A doubled flexor carpi radialis muscle was observed in the right forearm of an embalmed adult male cadaver. The extra muscle took origin from intermuscular septa and inserted on the 3rd metacarpal. It shared the nerve supply and the synovial sheath of the regular muscle. The pertinent anatomical literature is reviewed.
