Where is the insertion of the biceps brachii muscle

Short head: coracoid process of the scapula. Insertion: distal attachments a. Radial tuberosity. Bicipital aponeurosis to the fascia on the medial side of the forearm. Flexes forearm at elbow. Supinates forearm at elbow. The medial head of the Triceps brachii arises from inferior two-thirds of the humerus to insert, along with the other two heads of the triceps, on the olecranon of the ulna.

The long head of the Triceps brachii is one of three heads that make up the muscle. It descends between teres minor and major, dividing the wedge-shaped interval between them and the humerus into triangular and quadrangular spaces. The lateral head of the Triceps brachii, one of three heads of the muscle, originates from the humerus, superior to the radial groove to insert on the olecranon process.

Bored by anatomy? Advancement of the insertion of the biceps brachii muscle was performed with an anterior approach to the radius. The biceps tendon was stripped off the radius at its insertion. A hole was dug into the radius 2 cm distal to the original insertion. The biceps tendon was then reattached to the drill holes made in the distal edge of the initial hole with the elbow in 30 degrees of flexion.

After immobilization in 70 degrees of flexion for 5 weeks, range-of-motion exercises were initiated. This procedure was applied in six cases of brachial plexus injury.
