“…Injury to the brachialis is uncommon and reports are often limited to small case series or case reports [ 6 , 7 ]. As a result, there has been little anatomical characterization of the distal attachment of the brachialis muscle [ 1 ].…”

Objective. The purpose of this study is to describe the three-dimensional morphometry of the brachialis muscle at its distal attachment to the ulna. Methods. Fifty cadaveric elbows were dissected and the brachialis distal insertion was isolated on the ulna bone and probed with a three-dimensional digitizer, to create a three-dimensional model of the footprint. Measurements and analysis of each footprint shape were recorded and compared based on gender and size. Results. There was significant gender difference in the surface length (P= 0.002) and projected length (P= 0.001) of the brachialis footprint. The shapes of the footprint also differed among the specimens. Conclusion. The shape of the brachialis muscle insertion differed among all the specimens without significant variation in gender or sides. There was also a significant difference in muscle length between males and females with little difference in the width and surface area. Significance. The information obtained from this study is important for kinematic understanding and surgical procedures around the elbow joint as well as the understanding of the natural age related anatomy of the brachialis footprint morphology.

“…Subsequently, Winblad et al, [4] in 2008 and Wasserstein and White [5] in 2010 reported similar cases which were managed conservatively. In 2011, Schonberger and Ernst [6] reported an isolated brachialis rupture in a 45-year old amateur body-builder and metal worker after he lifted his motorcycle.…”

“…Most of the injuries of biceps tendon are documented in sports activities like para-trooping and water sports [1,13]. Isolated brachialis muscle and tendon injury is a relatively rare entity with very few cases reported in medical literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Confusion may exist amidst surgeons and clinicians encountering this entity with regards to the best line of treatment as very few cases have been reported and it is more than likely that the case presenting to the treating surgeon is a novelty.…”

“…In the upper limb, such an injury frequently affects the biceps brachii muscle or tendon with there being abundant medical literature regarding the diagnosis and management of this not so uncommon entity. However, isolated brachialis muscle rupture is relatively rare with very few cases reported in literature so far [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Isolated traumatic brachialis muscle tears are uncommonly reported -leading to occasional misdiagnosis and misdirected treatment. The rarity of brachialis muscle tear may promote misdiagnosis or mistreatment of this injury. We report an isolated brachialis muscle tear in a young female, possibly caused by strenuous exercise in the gymnasium. The diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was subsequently managed adequately with conservative treatment. We herein present a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an acute brachialis muscle tear being diagnosed with a combination of clinical signs and imaging and successfully managed non-operatively. A chronologically arranged review of literature is also presented.

“…Both patients were managed nonoperatively and returned to lowdemand sporting activities at 3 months. In 2008, Winblad et al 16 described an acute tear of the brachialis muscle in a 17-year-old high school football player who sustained the injury as a result of being tackled with hyperextension of the elbow. He was treated conservatively, but there was no mention of his return to sporting activities.…”
