Abstract

  • The shoulder and arm region has numerous morphological variations. The deltoid muscle usually consists of three parts: anterior, middle and posterior. This case report describes a very rare deltoid muscle variant, an addition to the spinal part that is attached proximally at the infraspinatus fascia and the spine of the scapula. The distal attachment transforms directly into the brachialis muscle. Additional parts can affect the biomechanics and function of the joints significantly.
