A new classification system for the infrahyoid muscles according to their morphology and innervation
The proposed classification system allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the basic morphology of the infrahyoid muscle variation. Clinically, this is relevant for surgical procedures involving the infrahyoid area, such as flap reconstruction, where unexpected variations may occur surgical risks. Therefore, the proposed classification system offers anatomical and surgical framework of the infrahyoid muscles.
