The correlation coefficient between the nerve CSA and height, weight, and BMI were calculated using Spearman's correlation. BMI = body mass index, CSA = cross-sectional area, CT = cubital tunnel, LACN = lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve, MACN = medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, MC = musculocutaneous nerve, ME = medial epicondyle, PIN = posterior interosseous nerve, SG = spiral groove, SRS = superficial radial sensory, WFR = wrist-to-forearm median nerve CSA ratio.
