Abstract

In a routine cadaveric dissections in a cadaver the short head of Biceps Brachii tendon (SHBT) showed bifurcated in attachment with the belly of the Pronator Teres muscle seen along with its usual course of attachment with the radial tuberosity. This was seen bilaterally on both the upper limbs in the same body during the anatomical dissection. Here the biceps brachii was originating from the long head from the supraglenoid tubercle from the capusular joint and the short head from the coracoid process of scapula.
