Abstract
The flexor carpi ulnaris has been studied bilaterally in 50 South Indian cadavers. In one of the specimens an additional belly was observed unilaterally on the left side. The belly took origin form the medial side of the coronoid process and formed a tendon near its insertion to the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris. The additional belly was supplied by a branch coming from the median nerve. The insertion of the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris was normal. Morphologic features of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle are important because of its role in sports persons especially in players of cricket, tennis, golf and hockey. The presence of such a variation may be beneficial. An understanding of this unusual finding may be clinically relevant in describing the anterior compartment of the forearm.
