An Anatomical Study of Median and Ulnar Nerve Communication in the Forearm

Abstract

Background: Communications between nerves are relatively common, and individual variations in their anatomical organization have been described in various studies. Knowledge of the prevalence of such variations is necessary when establishing the diagnosis of neuropathies and surgical landmarks. This study has as purpose to report the incidence, type, topography of the presence of median and ulnar nerve communication in the forearm
