If an incision were made distal to the elbow, where would it be located?
1. posterior to the elbow
2 closer to the fingers than the elbow
3 closer to the shoulder than the elbow
4 anterior to the elbow

The anatomical direction of the skeletal system is termed as- distal and proximal on the basis of distance from the main proximity of the body or torso.

If one makes an incision distal to the elbow, it indicates that the incision is made away from the elbow towards the lower side. The structure present there will be very close to the fingers.

Thus, option-2 is the correct answer.

If an incision were made distal to the elbow, where would it be located? 1. posterior to the elbow 2 closer to the fingers than the elbow 3 closer to the shoulder than the elbow 4 anterior to the elbow
