Material and Methods: The study comprised 52 patients attending the orthopedic clinic for different hand problems. They were also examined for the presence of Linburg-Comstock anomaly, which was present in nine, and these patients were examined by MRI. Results: The tendinous connection between flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum longus in all patients was shown by MRI. The connections were in the wrist, just proximal to the radiocarpal joint or distal forearm. Conclusion: MRI can show localization of the connection in this anomaly and helps the surgeon perform the operation with a limited incision. The operation time is therefore shorter and wound scarring less prominent.en10.1080/02841850600557141info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesstendinous connectionLinburg-Comstock anomalymagnetic resonance imagingArticle47436636816739695Q3WOS:000237221800007Q4
