We present the OF as an osseous landmark to reduce the risk of iatrogenic radial neuropathy. HL and TW can be reliably used to estimate the RN location. The consistent "safe zones" of the RN in relation to the OF are 10.5 cm at the medial edge, 9 cm at the center and 7.5 cm at the lateral edge of the posterior aspect of the humeral shaft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
