In 1966, Wilhelm published a technique of denervation of the wrist joint based on his own anatomical studies of 1958. Other authors have published their experience in wrist denervations with similar results, but there are some discrepancies in descriptions of the innervation of the wrist. We have studied the innervation of the wrist by dissection under magnification on 20 cadaver limbs and by histological examination of five human foetal wrists. Based in our anatomical findings, we have demonstrated that Wilhelm's technique does not achieve total denervation of the wrist.

D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand. Median Nerves,Nerve, Median,Nerves, Median
D011826 Radial Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans the fibers of the radial nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C5 to T1), travel via the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and supply motor innervation to extensor muscles of the arm and cutaneous sensory fibers to extensor regions of the arm and hand. Nerve, Radial,Nerves, Radial,Radial Nerves
