ABSTRACT

The objective in this study was a microscopic dissection and examination of the musculocutaneous nerve. The origin of the musculocutaneous nerve and its relationship with the surrounding structures, motor and sensory branches, and fascicular structures were studied. The anastomoses between this nerve and other major nerves in the arm and forearm are also described.
