Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Blocks Performed by Orthopedic Surgeons: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study in Akita Prefecture, Japan

Figure 8

In the anterolateral short-axis view of the elbow joint level, the radial nerve is visible as a fascicular pattern between the brachioradialis and brachialis muscles. The radial nerve is divided into deep and superficial branches at the radial neck level. It is also possible to block only the superficial branch, which is the sensory branch.
