Sonographic Imaging of the Superficial Radial Nerve and its Branches | A Pictorial Review
The superficial radial nerve is one of two terminal branches that arise from the radial nerve at the elbow and passes through the forearm to the wrist where it divides into two main branches.
This pictorial review published in Sonography journal outlines its anatomy, course, relative structures, potential sites of nerve injury and entrapment and provides information on the ultrasound imaging of this nerve.
This knowledge will help sonographers provide a diagnosis to guide patient management.
