Study Notes
Cubital Fossa
- The lateral border of the cubital fossa is formed by the brachioradialis muscle.
- The cubital fossa is triangular in shape.
- The biceps brachii tendon passes centrally through the cubital fossa and attaches to the radial tuberosity.
- The musculocutaneous nerve travels along the lateral border of the cubital fossa and divides into superficial and deep branches.
- The brachial artery bifurcates into the radial and ulnar arteries at the level of the neck of the radius, just below the elbow crease.
