摘要

BACKGROUND In this single case report study,we describe an anatomical variance of a brachioradialis muscle with two muscle bellies and two tendons with their common insertion on the suprastyloid crest of a distal radius.CASE SUMMARY After a self-mutilating forearm injury of a borderline personality patient,we observed the anatomical variation of brachioradialis tendon.After tendon repair and aftercare the muscle function recovered completely.Five months after surgery the forearm magnetic resonance imaging was done revealing a supernumerary brachioradialis muscle.CONCLUSION Anatomical variations of forearm muscles and tendons are not rare.The treating surgeons should be aware of their existence and anatomical relationships.
