The posterior interosseous nerve is a branch of the radial nerve. It supplies the extensors of the forearm except brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus which are supplied by the radial nerve.The anterior interosseous nerve is a branch of the median nerve, it supplies the deep forearm flexors.

The posterior interosseous nerve supplies1 Flexor pollicis longus

2 Extensor pollicis longus

3 Extensor carpi radialis longus

4 Extensor carpi radialis brevis

The radial nerve gives off its terminal branch, the posterior interosseous nerve in the cubital fossa (overlying the lateral epicondyle of the distal humerus). The posterior interosseous nerve supplies all the extensors of the forearm except brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus which are supplied by the radial nerve.

In the cubital fossa1 the ulnar nerve lies lateral to the brachial artery

2 the tendon of biceps brachii lies medial to the brachial artery

3 the median nerve lies medial to the brachial artery

4 the bicipital aponeurosis crosses deep to the brachial artery

5 the median nerve is seen to enter the pronator teres muscle

The ulnar nerve is not a content of the cubital fossa The biceps tendon lies lateral to the brachial arteryThe 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 heads of pronator teres).
