Corpus: Radial recurrent artery

The radial recurrent artery originates immediately distal to the elbow from the radial artery. It runs proximally between the branches of the radial nerve, initially lying on the supinator muscle, and then coursing between the brachioradialis and brachialis muscle.

The radial recurrent artery anastomoses at the elbow with the radial collateral artery.

The radial recurrent artery supplies the aforementioned muscles and the elbow joint with arterial blood.
