Radial nerve and humerus.

ABSTRACT

Analysis of the measurement of the humeral length and the pathway of the radial nerve that passes on the shaft of the humerus was made in 43 cadavers (86 humerus), 22 males, 21 adult. The average lengths of the humerus in the males were 28.02 centimeters (right) and 28.05 centimeters (left), in the females they were 26.36 centimeters (right) and 26.28 centimeters (left). The pathways of the radial nerve that passes from the humerus were measured From the tip of the greater tuberosity to the point where the radial nerve passes from the humerus, the average lengths in the males were 17.87 centimeters (right) and 17.86 centimeters (left), in the females were 16.27 centimeters (right) and 16.49 centimeters (left), From the tip of the greater tuberosity to the point the radial nerve passes on the humerus, the average lengths in the males were 12.31 centimeters (right) and 12.38 centimeters (left), in the females they were 10.97 centimeters (right) and 11.5 centimeters (left), and 11.5 centimeters (left), From the lateral epicondyle to the point the radial nerve passes from the humerus, the average lengths in the males were 10.14 centimeters (right) and 10.19 centimeters (left), in the females they were 10.09 centimeters (right) and 9.80 centimeters (left) From the lateral epicondyle to the point that the radial nerve passes on the humerus, the average lengths in the males were 15.70 centimeters (right) and 15.67 centimeters (left), in the females they were 15.39 centimeters (right) and 14.78 centimeters (left) From the point that the radial nerve passes on the humerus to the point that it passes from the humerus, the average lengths in the males were 5.56 centimeters (right) and 5.49 centimeters (left) in the females they were 5.36 centimeters (right) and 4.89 centimeters (left).
