Open publisher page 82 citations

Abstract

The occurrence of variations in the insertion of the abductor pollicis longus tendon is more common and in greater number per forearm than has been generally realized. This is evidenced by the frequency of variants found in dissections of thirty-eight forearms, and further verified by the correlation of the findings at surgery.
