This study was carried out to elucidate the destination of the C4 ventral ramus that forms the prefixed brachial plexus. A total of 43 sides of Korean adults (male, 22; female, 18; unknown: 3 and right, 23; left, 20) were investigated. The various C4 destinations and their frequencies were as follows: suprascapular nerve, 97.

- - The coracobrachialis muscle is primarily innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve, mainly receiving contributions from the C6 and C7 spinal nerves, while C5 does not play a role in this innervation.
- - The study found two types of nerve composition: type I (C6 and C7) in 88.9% of cases and type II (only C7) in 11.1%.
- - The count of myelinated nerve fibers showed that C7 is the dominant contributor, with implications for using these branches in neurotization procedures for brachial plexus injuries.
