MUSCULATURE ORIGINATING IN THE MEDIAL EPICONDYLE OF THE HUMERUS LITERATURE REVIEW ON ITS COMPOSITION
Keywords:
Epicondyle, Medial, Humerus, AnatomyAbstract
The literature review of the present study demonstrated that the musculature that originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus is of complex architecture and still difficult to understand in its entirety.
Through the analysis of articles from the last five years, we concluded that the muscles that have their origin there may present anatomical variations from 2.5% to 68% in muscle and/or tendon structure.
A report describes the presence of an accessory head of the flexor pollicis longus muscle, originating from the medial epicondyle, which did not exist in classical architecture.
This is of paramount importance in the surgical programming of this region, aiming at its integral composition and possible variations.
