“…However, the superficial brachioulnoradial artery most often arises from the proximal half of the brachial artery and bifurcates proximal to the interepicondylar line of the humerus [1,2,[20][21][22]. In our case, the common trunk for the radial and superficial ulnar artery took origin in the distal quarter of the forearm (36 mm above the interepicondylar line of the humerus) and undergo division below the interepicondylar line of the humerus.…”

Background: In this report we present a series of cases representing variant origin and course of the ulnar artery, namely the superficial ulnar artery, observed during the review of collection of historical specimens prepared in the 19th century by the prominent Polish anatomist Ludwik Karol Teichmann and his collaborators, exhibited in the Anatomy Museum of Jagiellonian University Medical College. Results: Three distinct variants of the superficial ulnar artery were found on anatomical specimens of the upper limb with arteries injected by using Teichmann's method. In case No. 1, the superficial ulnar artery originated from the brachial artery slightly above the interepicondylar line of the humerus. This aberrant vessel gave off the common interosseous artery in the upper half of the cubital fossa and then ran superficially to the bicipital aponeurosis and over the muscles arising from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The cases No. 2 and 3 involved two similar variants of the superficial artery in which the common interosseous artery arose from the radial artery. In the unique case No. 4, the superficial ulnar artery arose from the radial artery. Conclusions: The superficial ulnar artery shows diverse anatomy regarding its topography and blood supply territory. Orthopedic, hand, and plastic surgeons should be aware of anatomic variations of the SUA both in planning and in conducting surgeries of the upper limb.

“…Adachi (1928) classified 34 different variations of the axillary artery [6], Lippert and Pabst (1985) summarized the variability of the axillary artery in 90% of cases [14]. The most common variations concern the ASS, ACHP, and APB [1,6,9,11,14,[21][22][23]27,28,71,72,74,85,[101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109]70,72,83,[98][99][100][101][102][103][104].…”

“…We did not observe this variant in our study. It is the arteria brachialis superficialis bifurcating into its usual two terminal branches but unusually proximal to the fossa cubitalis and its branches always run superficial to the forearm flexors as reported in several studies [1,12,13,15,16,[78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]. The purely theoretical variant with terminal branches coursing deep to the forearm flexors would be called arteria brachioulnoradialis.…”

“…It always courses deep to the forearm flexors but its occurrence is quite rare [16,[87][88][89][90]. It is necessary to distinguish this variant from the previous -arteria brachioulnoradialis superficialis -in which case the deeply located trunk (arteria brachialis) continues in its usual course into the arteria interossea communis [85].…”

Although the variability of the upper limb arteries is a clinically important problem, the prevalence varies across the existing studies and the classification is rather complicated, uncoined, and sometimes even unclear for its simple and direct understanding and usage. Multiple case reports appearing in the last years apply incorrect, inappropriate, and sometimes misleading terminology. Here we performed an anatomical cadaveric study of the variability of the arteries of the upper limb, namely the axilla, arm and forearm, in 423 upper limbs (Central European population) embalmed with the classical formaldehyde method. We proposed the application of the Equality system based on common trunks for denomination of the axillary artery branches principal variations: truncus subscapulocircumflexus (22.9%), truncus profundocircumflexus (13.75%), and truncus bicircumflexus (13.95%). Further, we proposed the terminology system developed by Rodríguez-Niedenführ et al. for the free upper limb principal arterial trunk variations based on the origin, location (in the arm only or in the arm and forearm), and course (related to the forearm flexor muscles) of the involved artery: arteria brachialis superficialis (9.5%), arteria brachioradialis superficialis (6.4%), arteria brachioulnaris superficialis (1.9%), arteria brachiomediana superficialis (0.5%), and arteria comitans nervi mediani manus (3.3%). Extensive development of the catheterisation methods via the arteria radialis et ulnaris as well as surgical procedures using flaps based on perforating branches of these arteries (including arteria brachioradialis superficialis et brachioulnaris superficialis) necessitate thorough data on the prevalence of the variant vessels for safe performance of these procedures and to prevent any unexpected situations or to react adequately when they occur.
