Topographical anatomy of the upper limb includes detailed examination of surface landmarks and underlying structures. The shoulder girdle, with the acromion and clavicle, serves as key reference points. The biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles define the contour of the arm, while the cubital fossa marks the transition to the forearm. Palpable structures such as the styloid processes of the radius and ulna, and the anatomical snuffbox, guide the identification of underlying bones and tendons. The topographical study is crucial for clinical assessments and interventions.
