Özet

Anomalous tendon connections from the flexor pollicis longus to the index finger flexor digitorum profundus cause lack of independent excursion of the flexor pollicis Longus, first described in 1979 by Linburg-Comstock. This anatomical variation is potentially problematic for musicians. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of this anomaly in musicians and to operate on the symptomatic patients with a limited incision with the help of magnetic resonance imaging.
