Ulnar and Humeral Heads Forming Separate Bellies: A Rare Case of Digastric Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Muscle

Proper knowledge of muscular variations is essential for both anatomists and surgeons. Variations of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) are not very common. We are reporting an unusual case of FCU muscle with two bellies. The two heads (ulnar and humeral) of the muscle continued as two separate bellies...
