ABSTRACT
Communications between nerves are relatively common, and individual variations in their anatomical organization have been described. Knowledge of the prevalence of such variations is necessary when estabilishing the diagnosis of neuropathies and surgical landmarks. In this study, 64 anterior forearm regions of cadavers of blacks and whites of both sexes, were dissected to examine the communications between the median and ulnar nerves (Martin-Gruber anastomosis). This anastomosis was found in five cases (7,8%), one of which was bilateral. There were no significant gender or racial differences in the incidence of this connection. The anastomosis in Brazilians observed here, the impoprtance of an adequate investigation of these connections needs to be underscored. Understanding the existence of this variations, its location and its possible presentation is important for correct patient assistance.
