Abstract

Internal and external diameters of sections of radial and ulnar arteries obtained from fresh cadavers were measured. Statistical analysis of the results obtained shows significant correlation (p less than 0.05). The wide range of values obtained suggests that, despite this degree of correlation, the internal diameter of an artery cannot be accurately predicted from the external diameter.
