  2. Radial tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tunnel_syndrome

    The radial nerve is commonly compressed within a 5 cm region near the elbow, but it can be compressed anywhere along the forearm if the syndrome is caused by injury (e.g. a fracture that puts pressure on the radial nerve). [3] The radial nerve provides sensation to the skin of posterior arm, posterior and lateral forearm and wrist, and the ...

  3. Radial neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_neuropathy

    There are many ways to acquire radial nerve neuropathy, including: [6] Upper arm - a fracture of the bone; Elbow - entrapment of the nerve; Wrist - elbow deformity and soft-tissue masses; Axilla - here the most common cause is compression. However, a dislocation of the humerus is a possible factor as well. It could also be due to brachial ...

  4. Radial nerve dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_nerve_dysfunction

    Radial nerve dysfunction is a problem associated with the radial nerve resulting from injury consisting of acute trauma to the radial nerve. The damage has sensory consequences, as it interferes with the radial nerve 's innervation of the skin of the posterior forearm, lateral three digits, and the dorsal surface of the lateral side of the palm.

  5. Radial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_nerve

    The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb.It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and overlying skin.

  6. Deep branch of radial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_branch_of_radial_nerve

    The radial nerve divides into a superficial (sensory) and deep (motor) branch at the cubital fossa. The deep branch of the radial nerve winds to the back of the forearm around the lateral side of the radius between the two planes of fibers of the supinator, and is prolonged downward between the superficial and deep layers of muscles, to the middle of the forearm.

  7. Superficial branch of radial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial_branch_of...

    The superficial branch of the radial nerve passes along the front of the radial side of the forearm to the commencement of its lower third. It is a sensory nerve. It lies at first slightly lateral to the radial artery, concealed beneath the brachioradialis. In the middle third of the forearm, it lies behind the same muscle, close to the lateral ...

  8. Supinator muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supinator_muscle

    The radial nerve divides into deep and sensory superficial branches just proximal to the supinator muscle—an arrangement that can lead to entrapment and compression of the deep part, potentially resulting in selective paralysis of the muscles served by this nerve (the extensor muscles and the abductor pollicis longus.) [4] Many possible ...

  9. Posterior interosseous nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_interosseous_nerve

    The posterior interosseous nerve (or dorsal interosseous nerve/deep radial nerve) is a nerve in the forearm. It is the continuation of the deep branch of the radial nerve, after this has crossed the supinator muscle. It is considerably diminished in size compared to the deep branch of the radial nerve.
