A Modified Anteromedial Approach for Exposure of Coronoid Fractures: An Anatomical Cadaver Study

Figure 2

(a) A single curved incision (1) was made along the anteromedial aspect of the elbow. (b) The bicipital aponeurosis (arrow 2) was incised perpendicular to the aponeurotic fibers. (c) The neurovascular bundle in front of the elbow joint, which consists of median nerve (arrow 3) and brachial artery (arrow 4), was identified. (d) Brachialis muscle insertion (5) was exposed and split longitudinally between the retracted structures. (e) The coronoid process (6) was exposed through the split brachialis tendon. D, distal; L, lateral; M, medial; P, proximal.
