Introduction. Wrist fractures are frequent traumas that require surgical management in some cases. Forearm muscle anatomical abnormalities are varied and are associated with multiple clinical manifestations. Due to the increase in the incidence of distal radius
fractures, the frequency of visualization of muscle variants has increased.
Objective. To describe the possible intraoperative complications associated with the presence of a forearm accessory flexor muscle during a palmar approach to the distal radius for osteosynthesis.
Materials and methods. A literature review was conducted in databases and clinical studies reporting the presence of an accessory flexor muscle in the forearm during distal radius fixation surgeries were selected. Cadaveric or imaging reports were excluded.
Results. 1066 reports or series of cases were found, from which 4 articles were selected.
Discussion. The frequency of reporting muscle variants in intraoperative settings is increasing. Their identification can reduce iatrogenic complications and facilitate surgical management of distal radius fractures.
