Nerve: Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm

The suprascapular, axillary, and radial nerves. (Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm not labeled, but cutaneous innervation would occur on the surface near the word 'radial' at upper left.)

The inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (also called the inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve) is a branch of the radial nerve that provides sensory innervation to the lower, lateral aspect of the arm.

v • d • e Nerves of upper limbs (primarily): the brachial plexus (C5-T1)

Supraclavicular	root (dorsal scapular, long thoracic) - upper trunk (suprascapular, to the subclavius)

Infraclavicular: lateral cord	lateral pectoral musculocutaneous (lateral cutaneous of forearm) median/lateral root: anterior interosseous - palmar - recurrent - common palmar digital (proper palmar digital)

Infraclavicular: medial cord	medial pectoral cutaneous: medial cutaneous of forearm • medial cutaneous of arm ulnar: muscular - palmar - dorsal (dorsal digital nerves) - superficial (common palmar digital, proper palmar digital) - deep median/medial root: see above

Infraclavicular: posterior cord	subscapular (upper, lower) • thoracodorsal axillary (superior lateral cutaneous of arm) radial: muscular - cutaneous (posterior of arm, inferior lateral of arm, posterior of forearm) - superficial (dorsal digital nerves) - deep (posterior interosseous)
