Bicipitoradial Bursa
(Redirected from Bicipitoradial bursa)
Description
Name
- Bicipitoradial Bursa
- Bicipital Radial Bursa
- Cubital Bursa
General
- Located between the distal biceps tendon anteriorly and the radial tuberosity posteriorly[3]
- Lies along the medial cortex of the radius, partially envelops the distal biceps tendon
- Occasionally it ensheaths the tendon[4]
Dimensions
- Range from 2.4 to 3.9 cm[5]
- Mean volume of 4 mL
Function
- Role: reduce friction between distal biceps tendon, proximal radius during pronation and supination
- Enlargement can impair flexion/ extension of elbow, compress neurovascular structures
- May compress superficial or deep branches of the radial nerve causing sensory or motor symptoms, respectively
