Muscles are famously varied, and muscular anomalies are frequently discovered during routine dissections of the human body. The superficial, middle, and deep layers of the anterior group of muscles are the most common. During normal upper-limb dissection for medical students, the forearm of an 86-year-old embalmed female corpse was dissected in the department of Anatomy, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences Jalandhar. In this example, there were two variations. Before linking to the flexor carpi ulnaris, the ulnar nerve travelled through the flexor digitorum profundus muscle in the anterior compartment of the forearm. Second, there was a short-bellied auxiliary muscle joining with the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus muscle. Bilaterally, both variants were discovered. In practise, understanding man's anatomical heterogeneity can help prevent surgical errors and inspire novel restoration techniques. A detailed understanding of nerve anatomic variants will aid the surgeon in avoiding unintentional retraction placement, which can result in direct nerve injury or indirect nerve injury through traction.
