title: Aberrant branches of the radial digital nerve in the index and middle finger: two case-reports.
abstract: This report describes two incidental findings of aberrant branches of the radial digital nerves in the middle finger of a 52-year-old man who cut himself with a grinding machine, and in the index finger of a 45-year-old female who sustained a flexor sheath infection following a dog bite. In both patients, two equally sized radial digital nerves were found and both nerves originated from one common digital nerve.
