TL;DR

The MN demonstrates measurable positional changes at the distal forearm during finger, wrist, and forearm movements that reduce the reliability of assuming a constant “safe” location between PL and FCR and should be considered when planning volar wrist approaches and performing percutaneous or minimally invasive procedures around the MN.

Forearm position–dependent variations in the carpal tunnel safe zone: an ultrasonographic anatomical rationale for a pronation-based injection concept

Forearm pronation is associated with widening of the median nerve–ulnar artery interval at the carpal tunnel inlet in healthy adults, and position-dependent anatomical variations in the transverse interval relevant to the ultrasound-defined safe zone are described.

Localizing the course of the radial nerve based on anatomical landmarks: A cadaveric study.

Background Surgeons treating humeral shaft fractures must be able to reliably locate the radial nerve in the posterior arm to limit iatrogenic injury. This study aims to improve the understanding of radial nerve anatomy by increasing the sample size, comparing bilateral upper extremities, and analyzing the impact of se...
