Four patients with a clinically significant radial artery anomaly

Four patients with a clinically significant radial artery anomaly

The superficial radial artery is an anatomic variant in which the radial artery passes superficial to the tendons of the anatomic snuffbox. Cadaver studies have shown its incidence to be 0.5% to 1%. Four patients with this anatomic variation were encountered in our practice, and their clinical cours...
