Abstract
The presence or absence of the tendon Palmaris longus (PL) is a study of growing importance due to its use in tendon graft surgeries and its possible link to evolution. It is estimated that its agenesis is prevalent in about 14% of the general population. The present study aims at determining the prevalence of absence of Palmaris longus (PL) among two ethnic groups within Tamilnadu, South India – the South Indians and the Northeast Indians.
