When the literature is examined, studies evaluating the profunda brachii artery (PBA) are limited as most studies only investigate the artery's origin. In 44 upper extremities belonging to 24 human anatomical specimens, single and double PBAs were observed in 39 and five cases, respectively. In cases with a single PBA, the origin was the brachial artery (BA) in 35 cases and the posterior circumflex humeral artery in four cases. In cases with double PBAs, the artery's origin was the BA. Morphometric measurements of single and double arteries originating from the first branch BA were evaluated separately and compared according to sex and side. Our study, in which the PBA was examined morphologically and morphometrically, contributes to the literature anatomically and radiologically in treating humerus fractures and lateral arm-flap applications by surgeons.

Introduction: Postmortem evaluation of the human vascular system has a long history, with advancements ranging from dissections to modern imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT scan). This study designs a novel combination of Angiofil, a liquid radiopaque polymer, and latex, a flexible cast material, for cadaveric vascular analysis.
Material & Methods: The aim was to synergize the advantages of both components, providing accurate radiological images and optimal dissection conditions.

Background: The brachial plexus is a network of nerves located between the neck and axilla, which receives input from C5-T1. Distally, the nerves and blood vessels that supply the arm and forearm form a medial neurovascular bundle. The purpose of this study was to illustrate that a peripheral nerve dissection via a 2 × 2 inch window would allow for identification and isolation of the major nerves and blood vessels that supply the arm and forearm.
