A

Radial nerve injury

25
Q

DR CUMA

A

Drop Radial

Motor dysfunction is common.
Inability to adduct the leg with decreased medial sensation?

A

Obturator neuropathy

27
Q

This nerve injury is caused by hip flexion >90 degrees, can. cause ischemia, only affects sensory fibers so no motor disability occurs?

A

Lateral Femoral Cutaneous nerve

28
Q

This nerve injury is caused by external rotation of the leg, hyperflexion of the hips and extension of the knees

A

Sciatic neuropathy
