The superficial branch of the radial nerve is responsible for delivering sensation from the back of the hand, thumb, and first two fingers to the brain. If the radial nerve is interrupted, numbness of the back of the hand can result. Damage to the radial nerve is less common than the medial nerve. The trauma is also more obvious, as well. Rather than a subtle swelling pinching the nerve, the cause may be a bone fracture in the hand, for example.
The median nerve travels through the carpal tunnel alongside the flexor tendons and then divides into a motor branch that controls the thumb flexor and adductor muscles and sensory branches that provide over half the hand with the sensory of touch.
