Nerve Damage
o Median n. benediction signs
o Ulnar n. claw hand
o Radial n. wrist drop
o Median n. affected in carpal tunnel
syndrome
Contents of Carpal Tunnel
o (4x) Flexor Digitorum superficialis
o (4x) Flexor Digitorum profundus
o (1x) Flexor pollicis longus
o Median n.
o (9 tendons and 1 nerve)
o AKA: “Golfer’s elbow”
o Flexors of the forearm attach
proximally at the medial epicondyle of
the humerus
o Repetitive motion of the forearm
flexors can cause tearing of the tendons
and inflammation at the medial
epicondyle where the muscles attach

Borders of Cubital fossa
Superior: imaginary line
connecting epicondyles of
humerus
