The radial musculature consists of three muscles located at the lateral forearm. These are:
- the extensor carpi radial longus muscle,
- the extensor carpi radialis brevis,
- and the brachioradialis muscle.

They all run from or near the lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the wrist. As their bellies and tendons lie superficially, they can be easily palpated.

All radial muscles are supplied by the radial nerve (C5-C8) which courses between the brachioradialis and brachialis to the elbow and there divides into a deep branch and a superficial branch at the height of the radial head.
