“…Several studies are geared towards cataloguing the elastic properties of healthy nerves for future reference and comparative assessment. This growing catalogue currently includes the ulnar nerve, [159] radial nerve, [160] and median nerve [161] among many others. Other studies, such as this one by Durand et al, 2021, have started comparing the elastic properties of healthy nerves against neuropathic nerves, in this case comparing entrapped ulnar nerves post decompression against the contralateral non-operative side [162].…”

(1) Background: Neurologic and musculoskeletal diseases represent a considerable portion of the underlying etiologies responsible for the widely prevalent symptoms of pain, weakens, numbness, and paresthesia. Because of the subjective and often nonspecific nature of these symptoms, different diagnostic modalities have been explored and utilized.; (2) Methods: Literature review; (3) Results: Nerve and muscle biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing many of the responsible neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. However, the need for invasive tissue sampling is diminishing as more investigations explore alternative diagnostic modalities. Because of this, it is important to explore the current role of neurosurgical intervention for nerve and muscle biopsies and its current relevance in the diagnostic landscape of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. With consideration of the role of nerve and muscle biopsy, it is also important to explore innovations and emerging techniques for conducting these procedures. This review explores the indications and emerging techniques for neurological intervention for nerve and muscle biopsies; (4) Conclusions: The role of neurosurgical intervention for nerve and muscle biopsy remains relevant in diagnosing many neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. Biopsy is especially relevant as a supportive point of evidence for diagnosis in atypical cases. Additionally, emerging techniques have been explored to guide diagnostics and biopsy, conduct less invasive biopsies, and reduce risks of worsening neurologic function and other symptoms secondary to biopsy.

“…In the lower half of the arm, the radial nerve is housed within the sulcus nervi radialis, which is located between the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle. This nerve plays a crucial role in controlling the extensor muscles of the wrist and fingers, as well as the posterior portions of the arm and forearm [5,6].…”

“…Radial nerve injuries can manifest as symptoms such as weakness in extending the arm or wrist, as well as sensory deficits in the areas it innervates. Damage to the radial nerve is a common occurrence in peripheral nervous system injuries, and it can significantly impact an individual's functional abilities [6][7][8][9].…”

The study analyzed 20 elbows from 10 preserved male human cadavers (10 right and 10 left), which were selected based on strict inclusion criteria. Cadavers with a history of prior surgery, infection, trauma or deformity were excluded from the sample. The average age of the cadavers was 46 years, ranging from 28 to 64 years. The precise measurements were obtained using the Microscribe-G2X device, renowned for its accuracy of up to one-thousandth of a millimeter. The length from the pivot point of the radial nerve in the sulcus nervi radialis to the distal end of the humerus is measured, along with the transverse diameter between the lateral epicondyle and the radial nerve and the length of the humerus itself. The length from the pivot point of the radial nerve in the sulcus nervi radialis to the distal end of the humerus is measured, along with the transverse diameter between the lateral epicondyle and the radial nerve and the length of the humerus itself. The length from the pivot point of the radial nerve in the sulcus nervi radialis to the distal end of the humerus is measured, along with the transverse diameter between the lateral epicondyle and the radial nerve and the length of the humerus itself. The right and left sides were measured to be 30.54±0.65cm and 30.54±0.59cm, respectively, with no considerable difference between them. The distance from the pivot point of the radial nerve in the sulcus nervi radialis to the distal part of the humerus was 15.07±1.27cm on the right side and 15.34±1.21cm on the left side. On the right, the distance was 15.07±1.27cm, while on the left, it was 15.34±1.21cm. Moreover, the transverse diameter between the lateral epicondyle and the radial nerve was measured at 2.95±0.14cm on the right side and 3.05±0.13cm on the left side. We contend that comprehension of the safe zone in distal humerus surgery can greatly improve surgical safety.
