A Modified Approach to the Flexor Surface of the Distal RadiusFrom the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Bristol Royal Infirmary and the Department of Anatomy, University of Bristol, UK Correspondence: Miss P.E. Allen, FRCS, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Bristol Royal Infirmary, Marlborough Street, Bristol, BS2 8HW, UK. Twenty-three preserved cadaver upper limbs were dissected to show the level of entry of the nerve supply to flexor carpi radialis and the extent of exposure of a new approach to the flexor surface of the distal radius. We describe a new approach to the flexor surface of the distal radius in which both the radial artery and the median nerve are protected by muscles or tendons.
