The anterior forearm muscles have a high incidence of spasticity. However, the CHRMSA in the intramuscular nerve\u2010dense region of the forearm anterior muscle group has not been defined. This study aimed to accurately define the body surface position and the depth of CHRMSA in an intramuscular nerve\u2010dense region of the anterior forearm muscles. Twenty\u2010four adult cadavers (57.7\u2009\u00b1\u200911.5\u2009years) were included in this study. The curved line close to the skin connecting the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus was designated as the horizontal reference line (H line), and the line connecting the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the ulnar styloid was defined as the longitudinal reference line (L line). Modified Sihler's staining, haematoxylin\u2013eosin staining and computed tomography scanning were employed to determine the projection points (P and P\u2032) of the CHRMSAs on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the forearm. The positions (P<jats:sub>H<\/jats:sub> and P<jats:sub>L<\/jats:sub>) of point P projected onto the H and L lines, and the depth of each CHRMSA, were determined using the Syngo system. The P<jats:sub>H<\/jats:sub> of the CHRMSA of the ulnar head of pronator teres, humeral head of pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris, ulnar part of flexor digitorum superficialis, radial part of flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor pollicis longus, ulnar part of flexor digitorum profundus, radial portion of flexor digitorum profundus and pronator quadratus muscles were located at 42.48%, 45.52%, 41.20%, 19.70%, 7.77%, 25.65%, 47.42%, 53.47%, 12.28%, 38.41% and 51.68% of the H line, respectively; the P<jats:sub>L<\/jats:sub> were located at 18.38%, 12.54%, 28.83%, 13.43%, 17.65%, 32.76%, 57.32%, 64.12%, 20.05%, 45.94% and 88.71% of the L line, respectively; the puncture depths were located at 21.92%, 27.25%, 23.76%, 18.04%, 15.49%, 31.36%, 26.59%, 41.28%, 38.72%, 45.14% and 53.58% of the PP' line, respectively. The percentage values are the means of individual values.

spasms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/joa.14000","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]],"date-time":"2023-12-29T05:51:19Z","timestamp":1703829079000},"page":"803-814","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Localisation
