The purpose of this study was to anatomically investigate the proximal origin of flexor-pronator muscles (FPMs) and clarify their contribution to dynamic stabilization of the elbow joint during valgus stress. ⋯ The proximal attachment of the FPMs had a characteristic morphology. According to our results, the ACT and PT might assist the AOL by sharing static and dynamic traction forces applied to the medial elbow joint.

The aim of this study is to determine the morphometric development, location and variant formations of the sciatic nerve using anatomic dissection method during the fetal period. ⋯ We believe that our study will be useful for better understanding of sciatic nerve development and it may contribute to future studies in obstetrics, orthopedics and fetal pathology. Knowledge of variant formations of the sciatic nerve, its bifurcation level and its relation with neighboring structures may be important for blockade of the nerve in newborn surgeries.
