Biceps brachii is a double headed muscle. In terms of number and morphology of its head, it is one of the most variable muscles in the human body. Most common variation is third head, but four, five or even seven heads have been reported. In this study, 32 arms from 16 Nepalese cadavers were studied; supernumerary heads of biceps brachii were observed in 12.5% of 32 arms. Among these three headed biceps brachii was presented on 6.2% and the four headed was also on the same percentage. All the…

A third head of the biceps brachii and coexisting fused higher origin of brachioradialis
TLDR
During routine dissection of a middle aged male cadaver at the Dr. PSIMS & RF, Gannavaram (INDIA); third head of biceps brachii and fused higher origin of brachioradialis were found in the left upper limb.
An anatomical study on the three-headed biceps brachii in human foetuses, and clinical relevance.
TLDR
These variations of the biceps brachii are not rare and are interesting not only to anatomists but also to orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, traumatologists, physiotherapists, doctors dealing with sports medicine, and radiologists.
Unusual origin of three headed biceps brachii muscle
TLDR
Routine dissection of a 10% formalin fixed upper extremity of a 72 year old Caucasian male, revealed a tricipital biceps brachii muscle, where the third head took its origin from the deep investing fascia of the brachialis muscle and inserted onto the tendon of the short head of the biceps Brachii.
Anatomical study of the third head of biceps brachii muscle and its innervation by median nerve in human dissection
TLDR
The present study of anatomical variations of the biceps brachii muscle in the arm may contribute to a better developmental understanding and surgical approach.
CADAVERIC STUDY ON THIRD HEAD OF BICEPS BRACHII- INCIDENCE IN THE SOUTH INDIAN POPULATION
Morphology and clinical implication of the extra-head of biceps brachii muscle.
TLDR
The length of the extra-head was extremely significant with those of the corresponding limb in all, male and female cadavers (p<0.0001).
Bilateral Occurrence of Additional Heads of Biceps Brachii
TLDR
In the present case 2 supernumerary heads on right side and 1 superNumerary head on left side are observed for biceps brachii muscle in a male cadaver of 60 years age in addition to the normal short and long heads of biceps Brachii.
Accessory head of biceps brachii muscle in North Indian cadavers
TLDR
The knowledge of accessory head of biceps brachii muscle is important for the surgeons and troumatologists because there can be iatrogenic injury to the third head of cadaveric muscle.
A Study on the Accessory Head of the Biceps Brachii in Indians which was Done during Cadaver Dissections
TLDR
This study was undertaken to find out the incidence of these accessory or supernumerary heads of the biceps brachii in an Indian population from the north of Maharashtra.
A cadaveric study of the third head of biceps brachii in south Indian population
TLDR
The presence of third head of Biceps brachii, its origin, insertion and nerve supply were studied in detail and the findings would be valuable to Anatomists, Radiologists, Orthopaedicians and Plastic surgeons.

Supernumerary humeral heads of the biceps brachii muscle revisited
TLDR
Supernumerary humeral heads of the biceps brachii muscle were found in 27 (15.4%) of 175 cadavers andDepending on their origin and location, the supernumeraries heads were classified as superior, infero‐medial, and infero-lateral humeral Heads.
An anatomical insight into the third head of biceps brachii muscle.
TLDR
The study revealed that the incidence of third head of biceps brachii may be approximately 3.33 % but larger studies are needed to confirm this fact and the third head may be an incidental finding at autopsy or during routine anatomical dissections.
Supernumerary head of biceps brachii and branching pattern of the musculocutaneus nerve in Japanese
TLDR
The presence of a supernumerary head seemed to affect the course and branching of the musculocutaneus nerve, and the organisation des divisions du nerf musculo-cutané.
On the incidence of third head of biceps brachii in Turkish neonates and adults.
TLDR
It is believed that the third head of biceps brachii muscle is not a relatively rare variant and the knowledge of such variations may become significant in preoperative diagnosis and during surgery.
High incidence of the third head of biceps brachii in South African populations.
TLDR
Three different origins were found for the third head of the biceps brachii: an origin from the humeral shaft inferior to and in common with the insertion area for the coracobrachialis, a brachial origin and a dual origin in which the medial fibres originated from the short head of biceps and the lateral fibres from the deltoid fascia.

Four-headed biceps and triceps brachii muscles, with neurovascular variation
TLDR
During routine cadaveric dissection in the department of anatomy, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, India, various unusual variants were noted in the left arm of a cadavers of a 67-year-old man, which include a four-headed biceps, a three-headed triceps, communication between the musculocutaneous and median nerves, and a high origin of deep brachial artery from the axillary artery.
