The previously unreported fusion of the extensor digitorum longus and the extensor hallucis longus: anatomical and clinical considerations

Many variants of the extensor hallucis longus and the extensor digitorum longus have been previously described however, most of them refer to their tendons. It is important to be aware of morphological variability of the muscles, even if they are not common finding. We hypothesize that this variant may predispose to more severe injuries and increased pain sensations.
