Study of Course of Median Nerve in Forearm and Its Termination
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Median nerve is called labourers’ nerve, as it is responsible for powerful coarse hand movements. Impairment of function of forearm muscles and thenar muscles affects employment and everyday tasks. Materials and Results: In our study of 50 upper limbs the median nerve passed between the two heads of pronator teres in 44 (88%), deep to the two heads in 2 (4%), through ulnar head in 2 (4%) and the nerve passed deep to humeral head the ulnar head being absent in 2 (4%) specimens. Conclusion: Our study has thrown up a number of avenues for further research studies and would help in framing better guidelines for understanding the clinical conditions and for successful surgical procedures as well.
