The extensor digitorum longus is a source of much anatomic variation, mostly related with extra tendinous slips or their unusual insertions. This report describes a new configuration of the extensor digitorum longus with two heads and two main tendons which bifurcate into five slips. These slips undergo further divisions and establish connections between the each other. Our findings provide a greater insight into the intricacies of human morphology.
