The radial artery usually arises from brachial artery and begins just below the inferior border of teres major. The present study focuses on the radial artery features which are the internal diameter and external diameter as well as thickness of wall and origin level of radial artery to give extensive data for physicians. Present study comprises a dissection of 68 upper limbs which is 34 cadave...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous measurement of ascending aorta and radial artery pressure shows that mean and diastolic pressures (DP) are in close agreement in normotensive adults, while systolic pressures (SP) are not. However, in the aortic pressure wave, a second systolic peak appears with increasing age and increases to represent the SP by age 32 yr, while in the radial artery, a second systolic d...

The commonest cause of radial nerve dysfunction is from extrinsic compressions of the radial nerve, such as against the shaft of the humerus in “Saturday night palsy”. However, this chapter focuses on the less common intrinsic compression neuropathies of the radial nerve. Intrinsic radial nerve compression neuropathies occur much less frequently than those of the median or ulnar nerves. The com...
