Martin-Gruber anastomosis and transposition in cubital tunnel

Bosn J Basic Med Sci. 2007 Feb;7(1):71-3. doi: 10.17305/bjbms.2007.3096.

Abstract

This describes the indivisible anastomosis of the main stem of median nerve with ulnar nerve through cubital tunnel followed by the anomaly of ulnar artery that appears as superficial ulnar artery. Both anomalies are found during the anatomical dissection of a grown-up male cadaver, on his right arm. Such case is very rare as, in the literature available to us, it has not been described.
