The presence of two separate bellies of FCU muscle with separate tendons has been termed as Digastric FCU. It is a very rare anomaly with only six previously reported cases and no report of clinical use of such anomalous muscle. We describe a case of anomalous FCU found incidentally in a patient operated for complex Post Volkmann's ischemic contracture deficits. On table each head of FCU was found to form separate belly and tendon. One tendon was used for the thumb opposition while the other for index finger flexion. Postoperatively, the patient had independent movement of thumb and index finger. This is the first reported case of clinical application of digastric FCU. We reviewed the literature for supernumerary FCU in general and digastric FCU in particular. We propose a new classification for supernumerary FCUs based on the clinical appearance and the probable embryological basis of the anomaly: Type 1 (Split tendons) \u2014 single muscle with two tendons; Type 2 (Digastric FCU) \u2014 for each head of FCU forming separate muscle bellies and tendons; and Type 3 (Accessory FCU) \u2014 abnormal muscle adjacent to normal FCU with combined features of FCU and Palmaris longus. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218810413720222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,25]],"date-time":"2013-10-25T08:18:54Z","timestamp":1382689134000},"page":"393-397","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["SUPERNUMERARY FLEXOR CARPI ULNARIS \u2014 CASE REPORT AND REVIEW"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Praveen","family":"Bhardwaj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Hand Surgery, Reconstructive Microsurgery and Burns, Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore 641 043, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laxminarayan","family":"Bhandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Medical College Hospital, Calicut, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.
