Fig. 2

A, B The FCR tendon could not be identified using the commonly performed volar approach. C The intraoperative findings after retracting the palmaris longus tendon (PL). The median nerve (Me) and its palmar cutaneous branch (arrowhead) were difficult to identify without the FCR as a landmark. D The FCRB (asterisk) was identified just radial to the pronator quadratus muscle (hash mark) after retracting the flexor pollicis longus tendon (black arrow). (Ra: radial artery, white arrow: locking plate)
