Nerve Course Flashcards
Discuss the course of the Axillary nerve
Quadrangular space>ant to SS>surgical neck of humerus
Discuss the course of the Musculocutaneous nerve
Pierces Coracobrachialis
Discuss the course of the radial nerve
Triangular interval>Spiral groove>between brachialis and BR>supinator>neck of radius>near anatomical snuffbox
Discuss the course of the ulnar nerve
Medial head triceps>Behind ME (Olecranon)>pierces FCU>travels with FDP>hook of hamate
Discuss the course of the median nerve
Behind bicipital aponeurosis, on top of brachialis>between two heads of PT>betweenFDS and FCR>carpal tunnel
Muscular innervation of Axillary nerve
Deltoids, long head of triceps, Teres minor
Muscular innervation of Musculocutaneous nerve
CB, Biceps, Brachialis
Muscular innervation of radial nerve
Arm extensors, forearm extensors
Muscular innervation of the ulnar nerve
FCU, 1/2 FDP, all intrinsics x Medial 2 lumbricals, Flexor Pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis
Muscular innervation of the median nerve
Forearm flexors (x FCU, 1/2 FDP), Medial 2 lumbricals, Opponens pollicis, abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis
Common injuries to Axillary nerve
Inferior dislocation/subluxation: reduced abduction, loss of sensation
Common injuries to Radial
Inferior dislocation/subluxation: wrist drop, muscle wasting (extensors)
Common injuries to ulnar nerve
Ulnar nerve palsy, frictionitis, contusion, paradox
Common injuries to Median nerve
Carpal tunnel: sensation affected (x palm), wasting of thenar eminence, opposition lost, forearm flexors lost
Sensory innervation by axillary nerve
