Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the anatomy of the distal biceps tendon using MRI scans to aid in defining optimal surgical repair techniques.
- A total of 106 elbow MRI scans from 103 patients were analyzed, revealing most tendons exit as separate entities before merging at the radial tuberosity.
- Significant correlations were found between tendon length and footprint dimensions, providing essential measurements for better understanding and potential surgical approaches.
Background: The location of the axillary nerve in the shoulder makes it vulnerable to traumatic or iatrogenic injury. Cadaveric studies have reported the location of the axillary nerve but are limited because of tissue compression, dehydration, and decay. Three-Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows high anatomic resolution of neural structures.

They are typically located on the scalp, face, trunk, neck, or back; however they can be found anywhere on the body. Lesions are asymptomatic unless complicated by rupture, malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma, or infection at which point they can clinically appear as more sinister pathologies.
