Radial recurrent artery
Arteria recurrens radialis
Definition
The radial recurrent artery (a. recurrens radialis) arises immediately below the elbow. It ascends between the branches of the radial nerve, lying on the Supinator and then between the Brachioradialis and Brachialis, supplying these muscles and the elbow-joint, and anastomosing with the terminal part of the profunda brachii.
The muscular branches (rami musculares) are distributed to the muscles on the radial side of the forearm.
