Fig. 281. CHAP. V .. Double brachial artery. LIGATION OF THE RADIAL AND ULNAR. The radial artery, whose course along the forearm is indicated by a line drawnfrom the middle of the bend of the elbow to the forepart of the styloid processof the radius, may be tied near its origin, at its middle, and at its inferior ex-tremity. When the design is to ligate it above, or in the first of these situations,it may be approached by an incision, about three inches in length, parallel to theinner border of the long supinator muscle, between which and the round pronatorthe vessel will be found, accompanied by its two veins, the radial branch of themusculo-spiral nerve lying at its outer side, and some distance from it. Care istaken not to wound the basilic vein. In the middle third of the forearm, theartery lies between the long supinator and flexor muscle of the carpus, the spiralnerve descending close along its radial border.
