As it travels distally, the nerve traverses the fascial sheath of the brachioradialis muscle and the superficial flexor muscle compartment of the forearm.

Both the artery and the nerve lie under the brachioradialis muscle in the proximal and middle zones.

In its proximal third, the RA courses beneath the brachioradialis muscle belly, and then progressively leaves the lower surface of the muscle, running beneath the antebrachial fascia, between the brachioradialis muscle and the flexor carpi radialis muscle or its tendon.

In the middle zone, the RA courses between the brachioradialis muscle (lateral to the artery) and the superficial flexor muscle compartment of the forearm (medial to the artery).
