Ultrasonographic visualisation of anatomical variation of the medial cutaneous nerve of forearm and its depiction by the novel use of a custom computer program to generate 2D diagrams

Cutaneous nerves display significant anatomical variation, and are therefore vulnerable to iatrogenic injury during various surgical procedures. High-resolution ultrasonography (USG) was used in this study to investigate this variation, and map the course of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm (MCNF). We also aimed to develop a method to virtually represent this variation, which could be used to plan procedures involving the MCNF
