Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7

Abstract

The knowledge about the radial artery variations are useful for surgeons while performing angiography, vascular re-constructive surgeries. The variations encountered during routine undergraduate dissection was recorded and reported in the study. The present study was carried in department of anatomy to know the incidence of higher origin of radial artery and its superficial course. Careful dissection was done on 32 cadavers (64 Upper limbs) 20 belong to males and 12 belong to females, the higher level of brachial artery bifurcation with superficial course of brachio-radial artery was found in 3 cadavers, unilaterally. Out of 3 cases, two male cadaver showed on its left upper extremity with higher bifurcation of brachial artery and superficial brachio-radial artery. The right upper extremity of female cadaver also evidenced with the same variation, in all the cases brachio-radial artery was supplied to flexor muscles of arm.
