Radial Nerve
• Originates as the terminal branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus:– roots from C5, 6, 7, 8, & T1.– Largest branch of brachial plexus

Course of Radial Nerve
![Page 11: Radial nerve anatomyw](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5598c4471a28abb77e8b4660/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Course of Radial Nerve
• Largest terminal branch of posterior cord• Enters posterior aspect of humerus through lower
triangular interval– Teres major (superior)– Long head triceps (medial)– Humerus (lateral)
• Gives posterior cutaneous nerve of arm in axilla
![Page 12: Radial nerve anatomyw](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5598c4471a28abb77e8b4660/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Course of Radial Nerve
• Comes to lie in distal part of spiral groove with profundi brachii artery– Beneath lateral head of triceps and proximal to origin of
medial head
• Gives branches to triceps, anconeus and inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm
• Through lateral intermuscular septum 10-12cm above lateral epicondyle
![Page 14: Radial nerve anatomyw](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5598c4471a28abb77e8b4660/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Course of Radial Nerve
• In anterior compartment of arm lies between brachialis and brachioradialis– 1-3 accessory branches to brachialis– Large branch to BR (sometimes this branch given
by superficial radial below elbow)
• ECRL generally innervated proximal to elbow joint
![Page 16: Radial nerve anatomyw](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5598c4471a28abb77e8b4660/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Course of Radial Nerve
• Enters the forearm anterior to lateral epicondyle– More specifically over articulation between capitulum and
radial head
• ECRB innervated distal to elbow joint either PIN or superficial branch
• At some point 3cm above or below divides into:– Superficial radial– PIN

Course of Superficial Radial Nerve
• Runs over supinator,PT and FDS• Lies under BR with radial artery on its ulnar side from
1/3 of the way down forearm• Passes posteriorly through tendon of BR proximal to
radial styloid• Passes over tendons of snuffbox• Terminates as cutaneous branches to dorsum of
hand and lateral 3.5 digits short of nailbeds

Posterior Interosseous Nerve
• Gains access to posterior forearm by diving posterior and laterally through ligament of Frohse and the interval between the two heads of supinator
• Arcade of Frohse is a fibrous arch originating lateral epicondyle superior part of superficial layer of supinator– German Anatomist, Fritz Frohse (1871-1916)

Posterior Interosseous Nerve
• After exiting the supinator divides into deep and superficial muscular branches– Superficial• EDC, ECU, EDM
– Deep• APL, EPL, EPB, EI
![Page 27: Radial nerve anatomyw](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5598c4471a28abb77e8b4660/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Radial Nerve Compression Sites
• PIN– As it traverses the radial tunnel it encounters 4
sites of compression– “Radial tunnel syndrome”• entrapment neuropathy
![Page 28: Radial nerve anatomyw](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5598c4471a28abb77e8b4660/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Radial Tunnel Syndrome
1. Fibrous bands• Tight fibrous bands anterior to radial head at entrance of
tunnel
1. Arcade of Frohse• Most common
1. Leash of Henry• Radial recurrent vx that fan out over radial nn
1. Medial border of ECRB

Cheiralgia paresthetica
• Described by Robert Wartenberg 1932• Superficial radial nerve neuritis– Wartenberg Syndrome
• Causes:– Trauma, iatrogenic, compression (muscle anomalies,
fascial bands, thrombosis radial recurrent artery, tumour, haemorrhage)
• Symptoms:– Dysaesthesia over distribution

Radial Nerve Palsy
• Causes:– Fractures esp humerus, Monteggia– Penetrating injury/trauma– “Saturday Night Palsy” “Crutches”– Iatrogenic– tumour
