[Neuroskeletal radiography and relationships of the sensitive branch of the radial nerve].

The authors carried out an anatomical, roentgenological and surgical study of the ramus superficialis of the radial nerve in man. This branch springs down 1,2 cm. below the humeroradial space and crosses the posterior rim of brachioradialis 8 cm. above the tip of the radial processus styloideus. Twice the exceptional arteria antebrachialis dorsalis was found; the vessel and the radial nerve looked like a posterior pedicle at the forearm. Among the 3 ending branches, the middle one is the most vulnerable in lateral approach of radius and naviculare.
