AbstractThis study assesses the usefulness and feasibility of an osteosynthesis of the lower end of the radius under ultrasound imaging to avoid the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN). A single operator performed an initial echography of the wrist of 12 cadaveric upper limbs to identify the three main branches of the SBRN and the tendons. Then, three pins were placed according to Kapandji's procedure, avoiding the structures spotted under ultrasound imaging. After dissection, the safety distances for the branches of the SBRN, dorsal extensor tendons, and veins were measured, and injuries to these structures were noted. No lesion of the SBRN was found with an average safety distance of 8.1 for the third branch of the radial nerve (SR3) and 1.3 mm for the first and the second branches of the radial nerve (SR1–2). Three tendons were spiked. The average operative time was 38.3 minutes. Ultrasound secures percutaneous surgery to avoid the branches of the SBRN but requires a learning curve.

Wartenberg’S Syndrome

We dissected 20 preserved Caucasian cadaveric upper limbs looking at the relation of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) to the brachioradialis tendon. SBRN emerged from deep to superficial position by piercing the brachioradialis tendon near its dorsal border in four limbs. The resulting dorsal tendinous band compressed the nerve and prevented longitudinal gliding movement during ulnar flexion. This is likely to increase the risk of chronic compression neuropathy (Wartenberg's syndrome). In two of these four limbs, there was a communication between the SBRN and lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. No such communication was found in the remaining 16 forearms. This communication could contribute to the minimal area of sensory loss observed in Wartenberg's syndrome. We recommend that this anatomical anomaly is looked for and if present dealt with during surgical treatment of Wartenberg's syndrome, as it is likely to predispose to chronic compression neuropathy.
