C i.e. Brachial artery occulsion
The absolute indications for immediate operative management of fracture shaft humerus are – associated vascular injuryQ (eg. branchial artery rupture, occlusion etc) and associated higher grade (not all) open woundsQ
Bicipital aponeurosis lies over which structure in cubital fossa‑
| A |
Ulnar nerve |
|
| B |
Radial nerve |
|
| C |
Brachial artery |

| A |
Ulnar nerve |
|
| B |
Radial nerve |
|
| C |
Brachial artery |
|
| D |
Anterior interosseous artery |
- Bicipital aponeurosis passes superficial to the brachial artery and median nerve. It lies deep to superficial veins.
- During venipuncture, the bicipital aponeurosis provides limited protection for brachial artery and median nerve.

The standard location for noninvasive blood pressure measurement is the brachial artery, although there are several other sites where it can be done.
