The bicipital aponeurosis is located proximally near the cubital fossa, extending from the biceps brachii tendon and attaching to the deep fascia of the anterior forearm. It serves to protect vital structures within the cubital fossa, including the brachial artery and median nerve. Functionally, it helps distribute force from the biceps across the forearm, aiding in flexion and supination while also stabilising the elbow during movement.

The palmar aponeurosis has an inverted triangular shape and is continuous with both the palmaris longus tendon and the flexor retinaculum. It thins medially and laterally over the hypothenar and thenar muscles, providing structural support. Functionally, it helps protect underlying structures in the palm, facilitates grip by distributing tension across the hand, and anchors the skin to prevent excessive movement during manual tasks.
