What is bicep aponeurosis?

Bicep aponeurosis is a flat, tendinous sheet that connects the biceps muscle to the forearm bones. It is located at the distal end of the biceps muscle and serves as the origin for several forearm muscles. It is composed of dense connective tissue and helps distribute the forces generated by the biceps muscle during movement. The bicep aponeurosis also plays a role in joint stability and acts as a protective shield for underlying nerves and blood vessels. It is an important structure for the flexion and extension of the elbow joint.
