Beyond two heads: An imaging-based analysis of the lateral pterygoid muscle’s heads
The study challenges conventional anatomical dogmas by highlighting significant variability in LPM anatomy and its association with the maxillary artery. These findings highlight the necessity of adopting imaging-driven, personalized anatomical insights to improve clinical decision-making and outcomes, advocating for a paradigm shift in understanding human anatomy.
