Q
What is Hilton’s law
A
A sensory nerve supplying a JOINT also supplies the MUSCLES moving the joint and the SKIN overlying the insertions of these muscles
Eg. Musculocutaneous Nerve gives sensory supply to anterior capsule of elbow, and supplies the BBC and skin overlying the insertions of these muscles, by way of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm (which is the terminal branch of the MCC nerve)
