Martin-Gruber Connections in South AfricaAn anatomical studyFrom the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Correspondence: Mr K. O. Taams, Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit, Derriford Hospital, Derriford Road, Plymouth PL6 8DH, UK. One hundred and twelve forearms in 56 preserved cadavers were dissected to assess the incidence of Martin-Gruber connections in a population in South Africa. The connections were found in 13 cadavers (23%) and one was bilateral. There were no significant racial or sexual differences in the incidence. The course of Martin-Gruber connections and their anatomical relationship with the ulnar artery are illustrated.
