posterior interosseous nerve supplies all the extensors of the forearm except
brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus which are supplied by the radial
nerve.

The bicipital aponeurosis (also known as the lacertus fibrosus) runs obliquely
downwards and medially superficial to the brachial artery and median nerve)
The median nerve leaves the cubital fossa by coursing distally between the two
