The Existence of Axillary Arch in Human Fetus and Applied Importance and Clinical Implications in the Axillary Brachial Plexus Blocks

Axillary arch is the most common muscle variation of axillary fossa that gains importance for regional interventional procedures, screening methods and physical examination. In order to avoid malpractice the variations must be borne in mind. This study has been planned to research the frequency and...
