Correct Answer: Femoral
Description: The median nerve can be compressed as it passes under the pronator teres. The anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve can be compressed more distally with isolated motor (no sensory) deficits. The ulnar nerve can be compressed as it passes through Guyon's canal. The radial nerve, or its posterior interosseous branch, can be compressed as it passes through the radial tunnel (distal to the elbow where the nerve divides and passes under the arch of the supinator muscle).
