“…The mean distance from the superior border of the axillary nerve to the anteriorinferior border of the acromion was 6.3±0.5 cm, which was identical to the 6.3 cm reported by Vathana et al [10]. However, Burkhead et al [11] reported this distance to be 5.7 cm (4.1-7.1 cm). This discrepancy could be attributed to the oblique course of the nerve or because the distance was measured from a different point of the acromion.…”

“…In our study, we noticed a greater variation between the respective values. Burkhead et al (1992) studied the axillary nerve in 51 embalmed and 5 fresh cadaveric specimens. They found that in nearly one fifth of the cadavers the nerve at some point in its course around the humerus in the deltoid muscle was less than 5 cm from the palpable edge of the acromion and at a minimal distance of 3.1 cm.…”

“…Rockwood (1984) has noted that posteriorly the nerve exits from the lower border of the teres minor 10-12 cm from the tip of the acromion, so it is in less danger during the posterior deltoid-splitting approach to the shoulder. A few post mortem studies have examined the variability of the axillary nerve position in relation to certain acromial sites (Burkhead et al 1992, Kulkami et al 1992, Nassar et al 1997). Our study is based on a larger number of fresh cadaveric specimens.…”

“…Burkhead ve ark., 102 balmumunda duran eşleştirilmiş omuz piyesini disseke etmiş ve anterolateral akromiondan aksiller sinire olan mesafenin ortalama 57 mm (aralığı: 41-71 mm) olduğunu belirtmiştir. [19] Vathana ve ark. 77 örnekte, aksiller sinirin akromiondan 63 mm uzakta olduğunu göstermiştir.…”
