Abstract

The p < /strong>resent work was carried out on a total of 20 adult healthy donkeys. The position, course, termination and distribution of the radial nerve were studied.
On reaching the musculospiral groove, the radial nerve terminates by dividing into superficial and deep branches. After detaching the caudal lateral brachial cutaneous nerves the superficial continues as the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve.The deep branch is the larger one and considers the direct continuation of the parent nerve. From the anatomical p < /strong>oint of view the partial
radial paralysis in donkey is more excepted than the total radial paralysis.
