Identification of an anatomical safe zone for humeral cerclage passage
The radial nerve entered the spiral groove on the humerus distal to the pectoralis insertion in all specimens. The axillary nerve started to contact the humerus proximal to the latissimus dorsi in all specimens. In this study, we found that cerclage passage medial to lateral from the latissimus dorsi proximally to the area just distal to the inferior pectoralis major insertion distally is a safe zone for cerclage passage.
