The radial groove is a term used to describe a depression or furrow in the surface of a bone where the radial nerve passes. It is also known as the sulcus nervi radialis or the spiral groove. There are several synonyms for this term, including the radial sulcus, intermuscular groove, and groove for the radial nerve. Other common synonyms for the radial groove include the posterior interosseous groove, the supinator groove, and the musculospiral groove. Regardless of the term used, the radial groove is an important landmark in anatomy to identify and protect the radial nerve during surgical procedures.
