The radial nerve's course from the axillary region, branch patterns and the relation of the nerve to fixed anatomical landmarks in the arm region were studied in 27 embalmed intact cadavers. The radial nerve and its relation with the sulcus nervus radialis (SNR) was analyzed. The direct contact of the nerve with humerus in SNR was observed during the dissections. The following measurements were made: the total length of the humerus (the palpable uppermost point of the tuberculum majus and the lateral epicondyle); proximal safe zone (the tuberculum majus and the proximal beginning of the SNR); distal safe zone (the intercondylar axis and the middle of SNR); lateral safe zone (the lateral epicondyle and the distal end of SNR). In conclusion, it was aimed to correlate the osseus palpable landmarks of humerus with the course of the radial nerve for a safe surgery as the sulcus nervi radialis region is one of the main risky areas for the radial nerve palsies. |
