MSK: Flashcards
Posterior cord of brachial plexus gives rise to:
axillary and radial nn.
Medial cord of brachial plexus gives rise to:
ulnar n.
Lateral AND medial cord of brachial plexus gives rise to:
median n.

problems extending 4th and 5th digits
distal ulnar nerve injury
problem making a fist with the 4th and 5th digits
