“…A normal variant has been described in which the superficial radial nerve (SRN) rather than the dorsal ulnar nerve (DUN) innervates the dorsomedial portion of the hand or in which innervation by both nerves occurs simultaneously; however, few articles have been published on this topic, and the reported frequency differs …”
It is important to know the characteristics of this variant in order to avoid diagnostic errors and to prevent iatrogenic lesions in surgery performed on the dorsum of the wrist. Muscle Nerve 58: 732-735, 2018.

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.
