Symptomatic Flexor Carpi Radialis Brevis: Case Report
Received 24 June 2009; accepted 18 December 2009. published online 25 February 2010.
A patient with a flexor carpi radialis brevis (FCRB) is reported. In contrast to all but one previous case, the anomalous FCRB was painful. The FCRB tendon was located in a separate compartment; the tenosynovitis in that compartment was the likely cause of pain. Release of the compartment relieved the symptoms.
