The nerve was identified as a heterogenous hyperechoic structure lateral to the radial artery and superficial to the radius. Located superior is the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis muscle. Hydrodissection was performed in-plane using a 22-gauge needle with 5mL of 1% lidocaine without epinephrine. Submitted by Dr. Spencer Kim and Dr. Maurelus, Kings County Medical Center
