What's inside the animation (7 scenes):

Scene	Content
1 – Course Overview	Animated SVG of the full radial nerve path from axilla → wrist with all 5 compression sites pulsing in sequence
2 – Axilla Compression	Crutch/axillary pressure → complete radial palsy + triceps weakness (only site where triceps is affected). Animated wrist drop illustration.
3 – Radial Groove (Spiral Canal)	Saturday night palsy / park bench palsy / humeral shaft fracture → wrist drop with triceps spared. Side-by-side level comparison diagram.
4 – Radial Tunnel (Lat. Intermuscular Septum)	Fascial band compression → pain only, no motor/sensory deficit. Mimics lateral epicondylitis.
5 – Arcade of Frohse (PIN)	Most common PIN compression site — LEAFS mnemonic fully illustrated. No wrist drop, no sensory loss, radial deviation on wrist extension.
6 – Supinator Syndrome (Distal PIN)	Distal supinator exit compression → selective thumb/finger extensor paresis, no wrist drop, no sensory loss.
7 – Full Summary Table + Mnemonics	Comparative table across all 5 sites + LEAFS mnemonic + references.

Key anatomical rule visualized: The more proximal the lesion → the more muscles affected. Triceps involvement localizes the lesion to above the spiral groove (axilla level).
