The medial epicondyle gives attachment to the ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint, to the pronator teres, and to a common tendon of origin (the common flexor tendon) of some of the flexor muscles of the forearm: the flexor carpi radialis, the flexor carpi ulnaris, the flexor digitorum superficialis, and the palmaris longus. The medial ...
The coracoid process acts as an attachment and origin for a large number of muscles (attached muscles not labeled here). The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula; [2] it runs at first upward and medially; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and laterally.
Another fact typically for the subscapularis muscle is the fatty infiltration of the superior portions, while sparing the inferior portions. Since the long biceps tendon absents itself from the shoulder joint through the rotator cuff interval, it is easily possible to distinguish between the supraspinatus and the subscapularis tendon. Those two ...
The coracoacromial ligament may impinge and compress rotator cuff muscle or tendon. [3] It may be damaged during a shoulder injury. [4] The attachment of the coracoacromial ligament may be moved from acromion to the end of the clavicle when reconstructing the acromioclavicular joint. [5] [6] This often fails. [5]
Repetitive overuse of the forearm, as seen in tennis or other sports, can result in inflammation of "the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. The forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse. This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow." [3]

The common flexor tendon is a tendon that attaches to the medial epicondyle of the humerus (lower part of the bone of the upper arm that is near the elbow joint). It serves as the upper attachment point for the superficial muscles of the front of the forearm: Flexor carpi ulnaris [1] Palmaris longus; Flexor carpi radialis; Pronator teres
Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: . a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii.
