Ulnar nerve innervation to triceps: A cadaveric study and a technical note on partial triceps to biceps transfer

Conclusion: This study reveals the presence of dual nerve innervation to triceps in 43.8% of the Indian population. The clinical implication would be to look for the possible contribution of the ulnar nerve fascicle to the medial head of triceps, which will help us to include the medial head along with the long head of triceps while performing partial triceps-to-biceps tendon transfer, and the other use would be as a donor fascicle when performing a nerve transfer.
