The triangular space (also known as the medial triangular space,[1] upper triangular space,[2] or medial axillary space[citation needed] or foramen omotricipitale) is an axillary space.
It should not be confused with the triangular interval, which transmits the radial nerve and the profunda brachii artery also called as the deep artery of the arm.
