[The dorsal approach to the radiocarpal joint: an anatomic variant and its clinical implications].
The extensor carpi radialis longus tendon and the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon are important landmarks for the dorsoradial approach to the wrist. This case report presents an anatomic variant: both tendons are divided into two different reins. Knowledge about this anatomic variant is of importance in order to avoid misinterpretations.
