A study on the prevalence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle by magnetic resonance imaging
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the elbow area to quantify the presence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle. Methods A total of 232 exams were analyzed; 218 were included, of which 141 were of men and 77, women. Results Presence of the muscle was observed in 29...

| description | ABSTRACT Objective To analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the elbow area to quantify the presence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle. Methods A total of 232 exams were analyzed; 218 were included, of which 141 were of men and 77, women. Results Presence of the muscle was observed in 29 cases (13.3%), demonstrating that the presence of this muscle on images does not have a statistical correlation with the gender or age of the individual. Conclusion The prevalence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle is variable, without a pattern of normality. |
