At the bend of thearm, the artery is exposed byan incision in the line of theulna border of the tendon of thetwo-headed flexor muscle. It isnot necessary in these operations to divide any muscular should be borne in mind that the brachial may, early in itscourse, divide into the radial and ulna, which on reaching theelbow, may pursue their usual course, or either one of them mayproceed superficially down the arm while the other becomes deep-seated. LIGATION OP THE RADIAL AND ULNA ARTERIES. The radial may be tied near its origin, at its middle, and at itsinferior extremity. When ligated at its origin, an incision aboutthree inches in length, is made, parallel to the inner border of thelong supinator muscle, between which and the round pronator theartery may be found, together with its two veins, the radial branchof the musculo-spiral nerve lying at its outer side and some dis-. Deligation of the brachial, radial, andulnar arteries; also of the palmar vessels. OPERATIONS ON THE ARTERIES. 233 tance from it. In the middle third the vessel lies between thelong supinator and flexor muscles of the carpus, the spiral nervelying close along its radial border. The inferior portion is com-paratively superficial. In fact, throughout nearly its wholeextent, its pulsations will serve as a guide to its course. When the ulna requires ligating from injury in the upper por-tion of its extent, the wound enlarged, if necessary will serveas a guide to the vessel which should be tied at each extremitythus guarding against hemorrhage from the recurrent the middle of the limb the vessel lies along the radial border ofthe ulnar
