We present the OF as an osseous landmark to reduce the risk of iatrogenic radial neuropathy. HL and TW can be reliably used to estimate the RN location. The consistent "safe zones" of the RN in relation to the OF are 10.5 cm at the medial edge, 9 cm at the center and 7.5 cm at the lateral edge of the posterior aspect of the humeral shaft.
