34 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
C7 root
Compressed by cervical disk lesion
Axillary n
Lesioned by fracture of surgical neck; dislocation of the humerus; intramuscular injections
Radial n. in spiral groove
Lesioned by midshaft fracture of humerus
Radial n. in armpit
Compressed in axilla by incorrect crutch use
Radial n. deep branch
Stretched by subluxation of radius
Median n at elbow/proximal forearm
Compressed by supracondylar fracture of humerus; pronator teres syndrome (entrapment of median n by two heads of pronator teres muscle); aggravated by resisted pronation of forearm
Ant. interosseous n
Compressed in deep forearm; weakness of flexor digitorum profundus (index) and flexor pollicus longus (thumb) and pronator quadrus of forearm; can't make a pincer movement with first finger and thumb
Recurrent branch of median n
Lesioned by superficial laceration; innervates thenar evidence (flexes, abducts, and aducts the thumb)
OAF
Muscles in thenar eminence

Opponens; abductor; flexor
Meat-LOAF
Muscles innervated by median nerve in hand

(2 Lateral Lumbricals, Opponens pollics, abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis)
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
1. Atrophy of thenar and hypothenar eminence
2. Atrophy of interosseous muscles
3. Sensory deficits on the medial side of the forearm and hand
4. Disappearance of the radial pulse upon moving the head toward the opposite side
C5/C6 Trunk Lesion
Waiter's tip (erb's palsy)
C8/T1 trunk lesion
Total claw hand (klumpke)
Radial nerve lesion (C5-C8) (midshaft humerus fracture)
Wrist drop + sensory deficit on posterior arm, dorsal hand, dorsal thumb
Long thoracic nerve injury in brachial plexus
Winged scapula
Axial nerve lesion
Deltoid paralysis
Radial nerve lesion
Wrist drop (saturday night palsy)
musculocutaneous nerve lesion
Difficulty flexing elbow, variable sensory loss
Proximal median lesion (supracondylar humerous fracture)
Ape hand/thumb problems
Distal median nerve lesion (carpal tunnels yndrome; dislocated lunate)
Ulnar deviation of wrist upon wrist flexion
Proxiaml ulnar lesion via fracture of medial epicondyle of humerous
Radial deviation of wrist upon flexion
Distal ulner lesion via fracture of hook of hamate (falling on outstretched hand)
Ulnar claw hand (when asked to straighten fingers) - Pope's bledding/sign of benediction
Musculocutaneous lesion by upper trunk compression
Loss of elbow flexion and lateral forearm sensory
Muscles innervated by radial nerve
"great extensor nerve" - BEST - Brachioradialis, Extensors of the wrist and fingers, Supinator and Triceps
Dorsal interosseous muscles
Abduct the fingers (DAB = dorsals ABduct)
Palmar interosseous muscles
Adduct the fingers (PAD = Palmars ADduct)
Lumbrical muscles
flex at the MP joint
Repetitive elbow trauma
Degenerative injury due to repeated use; leads to tiny tears in tendons and muscles. May be inflammatory - e.h. lateral epidonylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golf elbow)
Obturator nerve injury via anterior hip dislocation
Thigh adduction, medial thigh sensory deficit
Femoral nerve injury via pelvic fracture
Thigh flexion and leg extension; anterior thigh and medial leg
Common peroneal injury via trauma to lateral aspect of leg or fibula neck fracture
Branch of sciartic; foot erversion and dorsiflexion; toe extension; sensory deficit on anterolateral leg and dorsal aspect of foot = foot drop

PED = peroneal everts and dorsiflexes; if injured foot dropPED
Tibial nerve injury via knee trauma
Foot inversion and plantar flexion; toe flexion; sensory deficit on sole of foot

TIP = Tibial Inverts and Plantarflexes; if injured, can't stand on TIPtoes
Superior gluetal nerve injury via posterior hip dislocation or polio
Thigh abduction (positive trendelenburg sign)
Inferior gluteal nerve injury via posterior hip dislocation
Can't jump, climb stairs, or rise from seated position
