Understanding Antepectoral: The Region in Front of the Shoulder Joint

Antepectoral refers to the region or area located anterior (front) to thepectoral (shoulder) bone. In other words, it is the area in front of the shoulder joint.

In medical contexts, antepectoral can be used to describe a variety of structures and conditions that are located in this region, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels. For example, the antepectoral space is a compartment in the front of the shoulder that contains some of these structures.

Antepectoral can also be used more broadly to refer to any structure or area that is located in the front of the body, regardless of its specific location or relationship to the shoulder joint.
