Bicipital aponeurosis

[1] The biceps tendon inserts on the radial tuberosity, and the bicipital aponeurosis lies medially to it.

[2] It reinforces the cubital fossa, helping to protect the brachial artery and the median nerve running underneath.

These individuals are at risk for accidental injury to the ulnar artery during venipuncture.

It is one structure that has to be incised during fasciotomy in the treatment of acute compartment syndrome of the forearm and elbow region.
