Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the projected location of the musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) entry point into the coracobrachialis muscle relative to the length of the humerus.
- Sixty-six upper extremities were analyzed to measure distances between anatomical landmarks such as the greater tubercle (GT) and the medial and lateral epicondyles, which helped establish proportions for localization.
- Findings indicated that the MCN entry point is typically located between 14.9-33.9% of the humeral length from the GT, and 14.2-34.4% from the coracoid process, providing useful intervals for surgical procedures.
This study aims to evaluate the relation between the lumbosacral trunk (LT) and the sacro-iliac joint (SIJ). In forty anatomic specimens (hemipelves) a classical antero-lateral approach to the SIJ was performed. The SIJ was marked at the linea terminalis (reference point A).

Materials And Methods: The study involved 50 hands from adult human cadavers. The proximal and distal borders of the A1-pulley were measured with reference to the first metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ).
Universities are an essential setting for creating health promoting environments. Evidence shows that university life can pose various threats to the students' health. Especially first year students are vulnerable to mental health issues.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the entrance and exit points of the PIN into the supinator in detail.
Materials And Methods: One hundred unpaired upper extremities underwent dissection.
The aim of this study was to investigate the intersection point of the radial artery (RA) with Henry's approach. Ninety forearms from adult human cadavers which had been embalmed using Thiel's method underwent dissection. Henry's approach was performed alongside the whole length of the forearm, and the RAs course was investigated.

We aimed to define a safe zone for these approaches to avoid injury of the PIN and to evaluate their close and changing relationship to the nerve during forearm rotation.
Methods: The study collective consisted of 50 upper limbs.
