INNERVATION OF THE PRONATOR QUADRATUS MUSCLE

The pronator quadratus is the main muscle responsible for pronation of forearm, helped by the pronator teres. To study the innervation of the pronator quadratus, eighteen forearms from a formol fixed corpses were dissected. We examined the relationship between the anterior interosseous nerve and the...
