[Innervation anomalies of the thenar muscles (author's transl)].

In 337 patients various reasons led to an electromyographic investigation of the thenar muscles and frequently of the hypothenar muscles as well. Conduction velocity studies of the median and ulnar nerves were also performed. Five cases were found with concomitant innervation and two cases with exclusive innervation of the opponens pollicis muscle by the ulnar nerve. Two clinical cases in whom a severe median nerve injury has been overlooked due to this anomalous innervation demonstrate the importance of the awareness of this innervation variation.

The accessory deep peroneal nerve.

The innervation of the right M. extensor digitorum brevis was investigated in 52 subjects with the aid of stimulation electromyography. In 13 cases (25%) a particular branch of the superficial branch of the peroneal nerve, the accessory deep peroneal nerve, could be identified. In 1 case it alone, and in 12 cases, together with the deep peroneal nerve, innervated the M. ext. dig. brevis. The significance of the awareness of this anomalous innervation is pointed out.
