  1. Only patients with available information for each wrist position are listed. For each position, the artery with the least impairment is shown. r: radial artery, u: ulnar artery, i: interosseous artery. 0: no blood flow visible, ↓: flow diminished compared to neutral position, =: unchanged to neutral position, −: no data available. P: patient number, F: in flexion, E: in extension, U: in ulnarduction, R: in radialduction. In seven of eleven patients marked in bold, the blood flow is maintained in any wrist position
