Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spinal nerve composition of the axillary nerve and the contribution of each spinal nerve.
Methods: Thirty brachial plexi extracted from Korean adults (15 men, 14 women, 1 unknown; left side, 13; right side, 17) were examined in this study.
Results: The frequency of the contribution of C4 was 13.
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the morphology of the quadratus plantae (QP) in relation to the tendinous slips of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and their surrounding structures, thereby providing data to understand function of the QP during gait, and for analyzing the movements of the foot and designing postoperative rehabilitation programs. The QP was investigated in 50 specimens of embalmed adult cadavers. The QP inserted into the tendon of the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) and the tendinous slips of the FHL in 96%, and only to the tendon of the FDL in 4%.

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.
