Abstract

Variations of the extensor group of muscles in the superior extremity are commonly reported. We are reporting a case of bilateral complete absence of extensor indices muscle. Variation of the extensor indices is not uncommon. Cases presenting with two, three or four tendons going to index fingers have been reported earlier by many workers. The cases with bilateral absence of this muscle are barely reported, with incidence usually ranging from 0 to 1 %. In a single study a high frequency of 4% has also been reported.
