The biceps brachii (BB) muscle is one of the three muscles located in the anterior compartment of the arm. Its insertion consists of two parts. The first part - main tendon - attached in the radial tuberosity and the second part - lacertus fibrosus (LF) - in the fascia of the forearm flexors. The intention of research was to reveal the morphological diversity of the insertion of this muscle. Thanks to the results of this work, have been created a classification of the distal attachment of BB. The results of that research can be used to further develop surgical procedures in the given region.
