Unilateral accessory brachialis muscle and its functional significance: a case report of rare variation
Variations of the brachialis muscle are uncommon in the literature. During regular cadaveric dissection, we observed the unilateral presence of an...

Bifurcated distal biceps brachii tendon coexisting with separated bicipital aponeurosis: a complex variational case report
Variations appearing in biceps brachii muscle are common with accessory head, different origins, variant insertion, and different pattern of nerve...
-
A very rare case of a thoracobrachialis muscle
The anterior arm compartment includes the biceps brachii muscle, brachialis muscle, and coracobrachialis muscle, and they are characterized by...

Functional reconstruction of elbow flexion with latissimus dorsi muscle rotational transfer: two case reports
BackgroundWe report two cases of biceps brachii and brachialis paralysis due to musculocutaneous nerve injury in which elbow joint flexion was...
-
The morphometric parameters of the biceps brachii: cadaveric study
BackgroundThe biceps brachii (BB) is a fusiform muscle comprising of two muscular bellies located in the anterior compartment of the arm. Its primary...

The brachioradialis longus: an unreported accessory form of the brachioradialis muscle
The brachioradialis muscle (BR) belongs to the lateral forearm muscle. Typically, the radial nerve innervates it. BR morphological variability, such...

A proposal for a new classification of the long head of the biceps brachii
IntroductionThe anterior compartment of the arm consists of three muscles: the biceps brachii, brachialis and coracobrachialis. The aim of the...

Anatomic relations of the median nerve to the ulnar insertion of the brachialis muscle: safety issues and implications for medial approaches to the elbow joint
IntroductionPreventing nerve injury is critical in elbow surgery. Distal extension of medial approaches, required for coronoid fracture fixation and...

Does forearm position matter in subpectoral biceps tenodesis? A randomised controlled trial
IntroductionThe optimal position of the elbow and forearm during biceps tenodesis is a debated topic. The aim of our study was to compare two...
-
Evaluation of skeletal muscle elasticity using color Doppler shear wave imaging
PurposeThis study aimed to (1) assess the precision and reproducibility of color Doppler shear wave imaging (CD SWI) by comparing it with shear wave...
-
Muscle interconnections in the anterior and posterior arm compartment: a cadaveric case series with possible clinical implications
PurposeThe report describes four cases of accessory bundles (ABs) or fibers connecting the muscles of the anterior with the posterior arm...
-
Ultrasound elastography in the assessment of post-stroke muscle stiffness: a systematic review
BackgroundPost-stroke muscle stiffness is a major challenge in the rehabilitation of stroke survivors, with no gold standard in clinical assessment....
-
Is it the coracobrachialis superior muscle, or is it an unidentified rare variant of coracobrachialis muscle?
The coracobrachialis muscle (CBM) originates from the apex of the coracoid process, in common with the short head of the biceps brachii muscle, and...
