What would be 2 possible outcomes of an axillary nerve injury?
Dislocation of the shoulder, Fx of the surgical neck of the humerus
What would be 3 possible outcomes of a radial nerve injury?
1) Radial Tunnel Syndrome - tenderness in extensor mass of forearm, long finger extension pain, weakness of finger and thumb extensors, and extensor carpi ulnas
2) Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome
3) Wrist Drop
What would be 3 possible outcomes of an ulnar nerve lesion?
1) Cubital Tunnel Syndrome - compression @ cubital tunnel at elbow – inability to grip paper
2) Guyon’s Canal Syndrome- sensory changes + progressive weakness of mm. innervated distal to site
3) Ulnar Claw Hand– hyperextension at 4th and 5th MCP, flexion at 4th and 5th IP
What is the difference between an proximal and distal ulnar nerve lesion?
Proximal- can’t flex 4th and 5th digits
Distal- can’t extend 4th and 5th digits
What are 3 possible outcomes of a median nerve injury?
1) Pronator Teres Syndrome - hypertrophy of pronator teres can compress median nerve, pronator terms = normal, other mm supplied by the median n. are affected + sensation
2) Carpal Tunnel Syndrom
3) Ape Hand Deformity– wasting of thenar eminence
