Discussion on Identifying Veins and Nerves for Distal Radius Fractures

The speaker discusses the method of identifying veins and nerves for distal radius fractures by using anatomical landmarks like the brachial artery, bazilic vein, and cephalic vein. They mention the presence of the medial anti-brachial cutaneous nerve near the bazilic vein and the lateral anti-brachial cutaneous nerve near the cephalic vein. The speaker also shares their technique of tracing nerves from the musculocutaneous to the axilla to identify the lateral anti-brachial cutaneous nerve. Additionally, they talk about a surgeon's preference for peripheral blocks over brachial plexus blocks for distal radius fractures, based on Hilton's law that nerves passing by bones provide innervation to them.
