2. Common (and uncommon) Accessory Muscles &   Tendons That I See In My MSK Practice Weekly

Luke McLeod

RMSKS, RDMS, CRGS

Presentation Description:

Accessory muscles & tendons are fairly common   throughout the human body, they look like typical anatomy but in atypical   locations. Majority of time they are asymptomatic incidental findings, but occasionally   they can be the palpable mass, impinge on peripheral nerves, or be used as   grafts for surgeons.

I have compiled a list of accessory muscles &   tendons that I have encountered over the past 10 years and hope to shed some   light on their common and uncommon locations.
