RAMIFICATION OF THE SUPERFICIAL BRANCH OF THE RADIAL NERVUS

Based upon 36 fresh and embalmed adult cadaver specimens, the arrangement of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) is described in the present study. For that purpose, the radial styloid process (RSP) and the tendon of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) have been used as fixed points of...
