Abstract
The anatomy of the dorsal sensory ulnar nerve has been well described, but a transverse branch that innervates the distal radioulnar joint a nd overlying skin, has not been well delineated. This study, from bath an anatomic and clinical perspective, confirms its presence approxima tely 80% of the time and documents the size, course, and type specific ity.
