  • nerve damage symptoms

    • radial nerve damage: no arm extension (posterior compartment)

      • proximal to origin of triceps: no elbow extension, no triceps reflex, wrist drop (paralyzed extensors and supinator), flexed/adducted thumb, sensory loss in dorsolateral lower brachial region+posterior forearm surface+dorsum of hand and radial side of proximal phalanges

      • in radial groove: humeral fracture, triceps usually functioning, wrist drop, sensory loss in dorsolateral forearm and hand

      • in forearm: wrist drop (deep radial n. injured), disturbed extension of thumb and metacarpals, sensation usually preserved

      • (more proximal injury → more structures compromised)

    • median nerve damage

      • above elbow: only ms. in forearm and hand affected

        • wrist flexors paralyzed (except flexor carpi ulnaris and part of flexor digitorum profundus)

        • thumb flexors and abductor paralyzed, not adductor

        • possible flexion at metacarpophalangeal joints

        • Hand of Benediction: 1st and 2nd lumbricals lose function, unable to fully flex

        • pronation of forearm is paralyzed, sensory loss over median n. area

      • at wrist joint: short ms. of thumb paralyzed, not adductor

      • thenar ms. atrophy → flattened, ape hand

      • flexor pollicis longus stays functioning

      • sensory loss of medial n. area

    • ulnar nerve damage: lack of fine finger control (digits 3-5)

      • at wrist: fingers are hyperextended at metacarpophalangeal joints, flexed at interphalangeal joints (claw hand)

        • tendon of flexor digitorum profundus is paralyzed → flexion of digits 4 and 5 not possible at distal phalangeal joints

        • small ms. of pinky and interossei ms. are paralyzed

        • adduction and abduction of fingers are impaired

        • sensory loss over ulnar n. area

      • at elbow: paralysis of flexor carpi ulnaris and medial flexor digitorum profundus

        • weakened ulnar deviation of wrist

        • hand is abucted and extended

  • PFPF/F: lateral to medial forearm ms.

    • pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor digitorum superficialis (deep to the first four)

for deep posterior antebrachium:

EEAEE (extensor vs abductor)

CrCrPPP (carpi radialis vs pollicis)

LBLBL (longus vs brevis)

R crosses over U (ulna under)

hand ms. acronym: oafala

arteries:

subclavian become axillary at first rib, then becomes brachial a. after teres major

deep brachial a. (branch of brachial a.) goes around spiral groove

2 branches of brachial a. at elbow: radial a. and ulnar a.

radial and ulnar as. come together at wrist, form superficial palmar arch (on palmar side)

on dorsal side of hand: dorsal arterial arch gets blood from radial and ulnar as.

veins:

axillary forms from merged basilic v. (down) and cephalic v. (out and down, lateral)

    basilic and cephalic branch from median cubital v. (for blood draws)

axillary v. → subclavian v. at first rib
