Abstract:Purpose
The aim of this cadaveric study was to further describe the vascular supply of the radial, posterior interosseous and superficial radial nerves.
Methods
11 cadaveric upper limbs, injected with colored latex, were dissected. Vascular afferents to the radial nerve, superficial radial nerve (SRN) and posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) were described and located. Their origin was identified and its distance to interepicondylar line was measured.
Results
The radial nerve had an average of 3 vascular afferen… Show more
