An Axillary Arch Muscle Variant with Potential Neurovascular Implications

2026-01-28

Abstract excerpt

The axillary arch (AA), also known as Langer’s axillary arch, is the most common muscular variation encountered in the axilla. It typically arises from the latissimus dorsi and traverses the axillary fossa, often crossing anterior to the neurovascular structures before inserting into the pectoralis major or surrounding fascia. Although frequently asymptomatic, this variant may cause neurovascular compression or co...
