Posterior Interosseous Nerve It is a purely motor nerve. It is the continuation of the deep branch of radial nerve in the cubital fossa. It enters the back of forearm by piercing the distal part of the supinator.

2.  Posterior Compartment of Forearm
 The posterior compartment of the forearm
contains extensor muscles, posterior
interosseous nerve and posterior
interosseous arteries.

17. Posterior Interosseous Nerve
It is a purely motor nerve. It is the
continuation of the deep branch of radial
nerve in the cubital fossa. It enters the
back of forearm by piercing the distal part
of the supinator.

19. Posterior Interosseous Artery
It is one of the terminal branches of the common interosseous
artery, which arises from the ulnar artery in cubital fossa.
It ends by anastomosing with the terminal part of anterior
interosseous artery and dorsal carpal arch.
Branches
In cubital fossa, it gives the interosseous recurrent artery,
which anastomoses with the radial collateral branch of
profunda artery and in the posterior compartment it
mainly gives muscular branches.
