Response to 'Musculus dorsoepitrochlearis' and 'Development and clinical significance of the musculus dorsoepitrochlearis'.

摘要

We thank the authors of the Letter to the Editor (Loukas and Tubbs, 2009) for their interest in this topic as well as for their opinion concerning our article (Haninec et al., 2009). We agree with their idea that the terms for singular variations of the axillary region often do not correspond with their form, origin and insertion. We believe that better delineation could admittedly give a better account of this type of variation. Reports of muscular variations from the 19th century each had slightly different descriptions but where often lumped together regardless of their development.
