Introduction[edit | edit source]

Anomalous means deviated from normal / routine. Anomalous innervations are routinely a normal occurrence. But if these are not recognised, they may be mistaken for technical pitfall or an actual pathology which may not be present [1] Nerve communication between the median and ulnar nerves in the forearm, is known as Martin-Gruber anastomosis. This implies that nerve fascicles from Median nerve transfers to Ulnar nerve[2]

The prevalence of Martin Gruber Anastomosis is between 3.3 to 40% of population [1]with a prevalence of 11.6 % in Indian population [3]
