AIM: To show the anatomical variation in the nerve supply of extensor carpi radialis brevis. RESULTS: The nerve to extensor carpi radialis brevis was found arising from the superficial branch of radial nerve, i.e. the radial nerve proper. CONCLUSION: The awareness of varition or nerve supply to extensor carpi radialis brevis from superficial branch of radial nerve is clinically important of surgeons, orthopaedicians, anaesthetists, physiotherapist & plastic surgeons to avoid damage to nerve during surgery and in interpretation of results. AIM: To show the anatomical variation in the nerve supply to extensor carpi radialis brevis, found in routine dissection. RESULTS: It is found that extensor carpi radialis brevis is supplied by branch of radial nerve (i.e) radial nerve proper in our dissected specimen.
