Risk of anterior interosseous nerve injury during forearm surgery: a cadaveric study
The AIN and its motor branches exhibit significant anatomical variability but consistently demonstrate proximity to the radius at the proximal-middle third junction. To minimize iatrogenic injury, care should be taken when exposing the anterior radius, particularly by avoiding excessive traction or deep retractor placement in this region.
