Excerpt

Traditional teaching suggests that the long head of the triceps is consistently innervated by the radial nerve [7]. Nerve reconstruction techniques for plexus injury often use the nerve to the long head of triceps as a donor nerve [2]. However, in their study, Drs. Erhardt and Futterman have reminded us that the nerve supply to the long head of the triceps is inconsistent. At all times, the clinician should be cognizant of potential variable anatomy. This is especially relevant when assessing patients with plexus injuries and other proximal shoulder girdle nerve lesions. …
