Ultrasonographic Validation of Anatomical Landmarks for Localization of the Tendon of the Long Head of Biceps Brachii

Table 1

Medial epicondyle vertical line related landmark: average distance between the biceps groove and medial epicondyle vertical line were measured at 0° and 45° external rotation. Correlation coefficients between the distance and weight, height, and BMI were calculated at 0° and 45° of shoulder external rotation. CC: correlation coefficients. BMI: body mass index.
