Aim :To study the connections between the musculocutaneous nerve and the median nerve. Materials and Methods :100 upper limbs of 50 donated embalmed cadavers (45 males & 5 females) of age group ranging from 70 to 80 years were studied in the department of Anatomy at K. J. Somaiya Medical College, Sion, Mumbai, INDIA, the connections between the median nerve and the musculocutaneous nerve were observed. The finding was noted after thorough and meticulous dissection of the upper limbs of both sides (axilla, arm, forearm and palm). The arterial pattern in the arm (axillary and brachial arteries) was also observed. The photographs of the connections were taken for proper documentation.
