Objectives: Assess the insertional anatomy of the distal aspect of the triceps brachii muscle using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in cadavers with histologic correlation and Play-doh models of the anatomic findings.
Materials: Elbows were obtained from twelve cadaveric arm specimens by transverse sectioning through the proximal portion of the humerus and the midportion of the radius and ulna. MRI was performed in all elbows.
Hallux valgus is a common condition, and it still poses some challenges. The identification of factors associated with the development of the deformity is of paramount importance in obtaining a full correction of the disorder. Hallux pronation is one of the frequently found components, especially in larger deformities, but the cause and exact location of this condition are not fully understood.

Such persistence may be bilateral and can remain asymptomatic for many years. However, aneurysmal degeneration has been described as a complication of the persistent sciatic artery, which may cause critical limb ischemia resulting from thrombosis or embolization of aneurysm thrombus.

Assessing all deformity components, such as the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is essential to hallux valgus treatment. Nevertheless, interobserver agreement of DMAA is poor on plain radiographs.
