Forbidden positions: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Safe positions: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Reference positions: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

COMMENTS:

Only console transosseous elements can be used in the projection of positions 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Close disposition of n.radialis to the radial bone in the projection of pos.1 proposes the application in the projection of pos.7 of console transosseous elements that perforate only posteriolateral cortical plate.
The application of position 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 is optimal at this level, because in this case the transosseous elements will minimally stand in the way of soft tissue displacement relative to the radius while motions in elbow joint.
 

   

 

The transosseous elements recommended for use at the radial level I can be designated as: I,5(I,5); (I,6); (I,7); (I,8) and (I,9).
