Peripheral Nerve of
Upper Limb
By : Dr Sumer Yadav
Plastic and reconstructive surgery
Brachial Plexus
Networking of spinal nerves, formed by ventral
(anterior rami) of cervical spinal nerves C5-C8 and
thoracic spinal nerves T1.
Brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous (sensory)
and muscular (motor) innervation of the entire upper
limb.
 5 main nerves arise from brachial plexus:
1. Axillary nerve
2. Musculocutaneous nerve
3. Radial nerve
4. Median nerve
5. Ulnar nerve
Brachial Plexus
Brachial Plexus
Axillary Nerve
From root C5-C6
Arise from posterior cord of brachial plexus at the
level of axilla.
Branches of Axillary Nerves
Lies posterior to the axillary artery and anterior to the
subscapularis muscles.
Then axillary nerves will divide into anterior branch
(upper branch) and posterior branch (lower branch).
Anterior branch innervate anterior border of deltoid
muscles (anterior and lateral fiber)
Posterior branch supply teres minor and posterior part
of the deltoid (posterior fiber). Then it will branch of to
formed superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm
(superior lateral brachial cutaneous).
Innervations of Axillary Nerve
Muscular innervations
- anterior branch – anterior and lateral fiber of deltoid
muscles
- posterior branch – teres minor and posterior fiber of
deltoid
Cutaneous innervation
- superior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve
- carry information from the shoulder joint
- skin covering inferior region of deltoid muscles.
Cont..
Frequently injured due to
shoulder dislocation because
of the close to the proximity
of this joint
Paralysis of the deltoid and
teres minor results
Inability to abduct the arm
beyond that possible by the
action of the supraspinatus.
Musculocutaneous Nerve
Arise from lateral cord of
brachial plexus
Opposite to the lower border
of pectoralis minor
Arise from root C5, C6 and
C7.
Penetrate coracobrachialis and
pass obliquely between biceps
brachii and the brachialis to the
lateral side of the arm.
Then continue in the forearm as
the lateral antebrachial
cutaneous nerve.
Musculocutaneous Nerve
Innervation of
Musculocutaneous Nerve
Muscular innervation
Supply coracobrachialis, biceps brachii and brachialis
Cutaneous innervation.
Lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve divide into
anterior and posterior branch.
Anterior branch – skin of anterolateral surface of
forearm as far as ball of the thumb
Posterior branch – skin of posterolateral surface of
forearm.
Radial Nerve
Arise from posterior cord
of brachial plexus
Arise from root C5, C6,
C7, C8 & T1.
It goes descending obliquely through the arm, first in
the posterior compartment of the arm, and later in
the anterior compartment of the arm, and continues
in the posterior compartment of the forearm.
The radial nerve enter the arm behind the axillary
artery and then travel posteriorly on the medial side
of the arm.
Radial Nerve
Then radial nerve will innervate triceps brachii.
Radial nerve then enter the radial groove.
Radial nerve emerge from radial groove and enter the
anterior compartment of the arm.
It continue the journey between brachialis and
brachioradialis.
When the radial nerve reaches the distal part of the
humerus, it passes anterior to the lateral epicondyle and
continue to the forearm.
Radial Nerve
In the forearm, it will branch of to superficial branch
(mainly sensory) and deep branch (mainly motor).
Cutaneous innervation is provided by nerve that arise
from radial nerve.
Posterior brachial cutaneous nerve
Inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve
Posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve
Superficial branch of radial nerve
Radial Nerve
Posterior cutaneous nerve of arm (posterior brachial
cutaneous) - provides sensory innervations for much of
the skin on the back of the arm.
Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (inferior lateral
brachial cutaneous) - provides sensory and vasomotor
innervation to the lower, lateral aspect of the arm.
Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm (posterior
antebrachial cutaneous).-skin of the posterior of the
forearm
Superficial branch – back of the hand
Radial Nerve
Radial Nerve Dermatomes
Radial Nerve
Motor innervations
Triceps brachii, anconeus, brachioradialis, supinator
and mostly posterior compartment extrinsic hand
muscles.
Cont…
The radial nerve is often injured in its course close to
the humerus, either from fracture or pressure from
direct blow to the humerus (incorrect use of a crutch)
Triceps usually escapes because derivation of the
nerve giving off high in arm, but total paralysis of the
extensor of the wrist and digits leads to the dropped
wrist deformities.
Wrist Dropped
Fracture of the humerus
Posterior interosseous nerve compression in the
proximal forearm
The PIN arises from the bifurcation of the radial nerve in the proximal
forearm. The PIN is a motor-only nerve that innervates the extensor
muscles and abductor pollicis longus distal to the elbow. The PIN
does not innervate the ECRL, brachioradiais, or anconeus muscles;
these muscles instead receive their innervation from the radial nerve
proximally. Immediately distal to the bifurcation, the PIN travels
through the radial tunnel, a 5-cm space defined by the capsule of the
radiocapitellar joint dorsally, the ECRL and extensor carpi radialis
brevis (ECRB) muscles laterally, the biceps tendon and brachialis
muscles medially, and the brachioradialis volarly.
Within the area of the radial tunnel there are five potential sites of
compression: (1) fibrous bands to the radiocapitellar joint between the
brachialis and brachioradialis; (2) the recurrent radial vessels, or so-
called leash of Henry; (3) the proximal edge of the ECRB; (4) the
proximal edge of the supinator, or so-called arcade of Fröhse; and (5)
the distal edge of the supinator. The arcade of Fröhse is felt to be the
most common site of PIN compression. Compression of the PIN gives
rise to two different compression syndromes, PIN and radial tunnel
syndromes. The management of these two syndromes is identical.
Anterior approach to the posterior interosseous nerve. This provides good exposure of the radial
tunnel when the point of compression cannot be localized to the arcade of Frohse. The zigzag
incision provides a wider exposure, but may be less cosmetically acceptable to the patient.
Posterior interosseous nerve compression
in the proximal forearm
Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome
Patients with PIN syndrome present with loss of
finger and thumb extension, most often due to
compression of the PIN at the arcade of Fröhse.135
Wrist extension is preserved, albeit with radial
deviation, as innervation to the ECRL is unaffected.
Radial tunnel syndrome
Like PIN syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome results
from compression of the PIN. In contrast to patients
with PIN syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome patients
complain of lateral proximal forearm pain with no
Superficial radial nerve compression
(Wartenberg’s syndrome)
The fascia between the brachioradialis and ECRL is
divided and the superficial radial nerve freed from its
bed.
Anatomy of the superficial sensory branch
of the radial nerve.
Ulnar Nerve
Arise from medial cord
of brachial plexus
Root C8 and T1 (mostly
C7)
Descend on the
posteromedial of the
humerus.
Then it goes posterior to
the medial epicondyle.
Enter anterior compartment muscles of forearm and
supplies flexor carpi ulnaris and medial half flexor
digitorum profundus.
Then ulnar nerve enter palm of the hand and branch off
to the superficial branch and deep branch.
Deep branch innervate hypothenar muscles,
intermediate hand muscles and thenar hand muscles
(adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis (rare))
Ulnar Nerve
Superficial branches of Ulnar nerve will innervate
palmaris brevis and skin anterior and posterior of the
hand (medial aspect of the hand/ one an half digits)
Ulnar Nerve
Guyon’s canal
Hand Dermatomes
Cont…
Ulnar nerve may be damaged in the groove behind
the medial epicondyle either by trauma or
entrapment.
Leads to partial or completely lost of muscular and
sensory innervations.
The results of the ulnar nerve lesion leads to the
typical ‘claw hand’ deformities.
Due to lost of the power in the intrinsic hand muscles
and unopposed actions of antagonistic muscles group.
Wasting of hypothenar eminence.
There are ‘guttering between metacarpals, inability to
abduct the fingers or adduct the thumb.

Median NerveArise from lateral root of lateral cord (C5,6,7) and
medial root and medial cord (C8,T1) of brachial
plexus.
Passes down the midline of the arm in close
association with the brachial artery.
Passes in front of elbow joint (cubital fossa) then
down to supply the muscles of the anterior of
forearm.
Then it continue into the hand through carpal
tunnel where it supply intrinsic hand muscles and
At the cubital fossa the anterior interosseous nerve
arises from the median nerve
Descend through the forearm and end at the wrist by
giving the articular branch to the radiocarpal and
intercarpal joint.
It supplies flexor pollicis longus, lateral half flexor
digitorum profundus and pronator quadratus
 Motor – all anterior (flexor) compartment of
forearm (except flexor carpi ulnaris and ulnar
half of the flexor digitorum profundus ),pronator
teres & quadratus, intrinsic hand muscles
(LOAF;1,2 lumbricals, OP, FPB, APB)
 Sensory – skin of the palmar aspect of the
thumb and the lateral 2 ½ fingers and the distal
ends of the same fingers and skin of distal
phalanx on same finger
Median Nerve
Median nerve
dermatomes
Cont…
Median nerve can be injured by deep cut with
resultant lost of flexion at all IP joint except the distal
ones in the ring and little finger.
MCP still can be flexed at this fingers ( lumbricals)
In the hand thumb is extend and adducted, lost of
ability to abduct and oppose.
Compression at the carpal tunnel give rise the carpal
tunnel syndrome (CTS)
Variations in median nerve anatomy in the carpal tunnel. (A) The most common branching pattern
of the motor branch is extraligamentous. (B)Subligamentous branching pattern of the motor
branch. (C)Transligamentous course of the recurrent motor branch. (D) The motor branch can
rarely arise from the ulnar border of the median nerve. (E) The motor branch can also lie superficial
to the transverse carpal ligament.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression median
nerve at the carpal tunnel
Patient will experience
numbness, tingling, or
burning sensation at the
thumb, index, middle and
radial half of the ring
finger.
If untreated – weakness or
atrophy of the thenar
muscles.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The six criteria included: (1) nocturnal numbness; (2)
numbness and tingling in the median nerve
distribution; (3) weakness and/or atrophy of the
thenar muscles; (4) Tinel sign; (5) Phalen’s test; and
(6) loss of two-point discrimination.
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
clinical practice guidelines
Nonsurgical treatment is an option for early CTS.
Surgery is an option when there is evidence of median
nerve denervation.
A second nonsurgical treatment or surgery is
recommended when initial nonsurgical treatment
fails after 2–7 weeks
Local steroid injection or splinting is recommended
prior to treatment with surgery
Oral steroids and ultrasound are also options for
treatment
American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons clinical practice guidelines
Carpal tunnel release is recommended for treatment
of CTS based on level I evidence
Heat therapy does not have evidence to support its
use in CTS.
Surgical treatment with complete division of the
flexor retinaculum is recommended, regardless of the
technique used.
Wrist immobilization is not recommended
postoperatively after routine carpal tunnel release. No
recommendation is made regarding use of
postoperative rehabilitation.
Ligament of Struthers. This proximal site of compression of the median nerve is
formed by a supracondylar bony process and a ligament that extends to the
medial humeral epicondyle.
Pronator syndrome
aching pain in the proximal volar forearm with
paresthesias
sensation in the palmar cutaneous nerve distribution
lost
attempt to pronate the neutral forearm against resistance;
if symptoms are elicited during this maneuver as the
elbow is extended, compression at the level of pronator
teres should be suspected.82
If pain or paresthesias are
triggered by resisted flexion of the fully supinated forearm,
the lacertus fibrosus may represent the site of
compression. Finally, if resisted contraction of the FDS to
the long finger reproduces symptoms, the FDS fibrous
Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is
divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of
the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the
median nerve fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the
anterior interosseous nerve through its entire course.
AIN syndrome
AIN syndrome results from the isolated compression
of the AIN under the fibrous arch of the FDS or the
pronator teres. Patients with AIN syndrome will
describe weakness of pinch, which affects activities
such as picking up small objects and writing, without
sensory loss.
Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is
divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of the flexor
digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the median nerve
fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the anterior interosseous
nerve through its entire course.

Suprascapular anatomy. The suprascapular nerve passes under the transverse scapular
ligament and through the suprascapular notch. Similarly, the spinoglenoid notch is
covered by the spinoglenoid ligament. Both ligaments can compress the suprascapular
nerve

peripheral nerves of the upper limb - applied

  • 1. Peripheral Nerve of Upper Limb By : Dr Sumer Yadav Plastic and reconstructive surgery
  • 2. Brachial Plexus Networking of spinal nerves, formed by ventral (anterior rami) of cervical spinal nerves C5-C8 and thoracic spinal nerves T1. Brachial plexus is responsible for cutaneous (sensory) and muscular (motor) innervation of the entire upper limb.
  • 3.  5 main nerves arise from brachial plexus: 1. Axillary nerve 2. Musculocutaneous nerve 3. Radial nerve 4. Median nerve 5. Ulnar nerve Brachial Plexus
  • 5. Axillary Nerve From root C5-C6 Arise from posterior cord of brachial plexus at the level of axilla.
  • 6.
  • 7. Branches of Axillary Nerves Lies posterior to the axillary artery and anterior to the subscapularis muscles. Then axillary nerves will divide into anterior branch (upper branch) and posterior branch (lower branch). Anterior branch innervate anterior border of deltoid muscles (anterior and lateral fiber) Posterior branch supply teres minor and posterior part of the deltoid (posterior fiber). Then it will branch of to formed superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (superior lateral brachial cutaneous).
  • 8. Innervations of Axillary Nerve Muscular innervations - anterior branch – anterior and lateral fiber of deltoid muscles - posterior branch – teres minor and posterior fiber of deltoid Cutaneous innervation - superior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve - carry information from the shoulder joint - skin covering inferior region of deltoid muscles.
  • 9. Cont.. Frequently injured due to shoulder dislocation because of the close to the proximity of this joint Paralysis of the deltoid and teres minor results Inability to abduct the arm beyond that possible by the action of the supraspinatus.
  • 10.
  • 11.
  • 12. Musculocutaneous Nerve Arise from lateral cord of brachial plexus Opposite to the lower border of pectoralis minor Arise from root C5, C6 and C7.
  • 13. Penetrate coracobrachialis and pass obliquely between biceps brachii and the brachialis to the lateral side of the arm. Then continue in the forearm as the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve. Musculocutaneous Nerve
  • 14. Innervation of Musculocutaneous Nerve Muscular innervation Supply coracobrachialis, biceps brachii and brachialis Cutaneous innervation. Lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve divide into anterior and posterior branch. Anterior branch – skin of anterolateral surface of forearm as far as ball of the thumb Posterior branch – skin of posterolateral surface of forearm.
  • 15. Radial Nerve Arise from posterior cord of brachial plexus Arise from root C5, C6, C7, C8 & T1.
  • 16. It goes descending obliquely through the arm, first in the posterior compartment of the arm, and later in the anterior compartment of the arm, and continues in the posterior compartment of the forearm. The radial nerve enter the arm behind the axillary artery and then travel posteriorly on the medial side of the arm. Radial Nerve
  • 17. Then radial nerve will innervate triceps brachii. Radial nerve then enter the radial groove. Radial nerve emerge from radial groove and enter the anterior compartment of the arm. It continue the journey between brachialis and brachioradialis. When the radial nerve reaches the distal part of the humerus, it passes anterior to the lateral epicondyle and continue to the forearm. Radial Nerve
  • 18. In the forearm, it will branch of to superficial branch (mainly sensory) and deep branch (mainly motor). Cutaneous innervation is provided by nerve that arise from radial nerve. Posterior brachial cutaneous nerve Inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve Posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve Superficial branch of radial nerve Radial Nerve
  • 19. Posterior cutaneous nerve of arm (posterior brachial cutaneous) - provides sensory innervations for much of the skin on the back of the arm. Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (inferior lateral brachial cutaneous) - provides sensory and vasomotor innervation to the lower, lateral aspect of the arm. Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm (posterior antebrachial cutaneous).-skin of the posterior of the forearm Superficial branch – back of the hand Radial Nerve
  • 21. Radial Nerve Motor innervations Triceps brachii, anconeus, brachioradialis, supinator and mostly posterior compartment extrinsic hand muscles.
  • 22. Cont… The radial nerve is often injured in its course close to the humerus, either from fracture or pressure from direct blow to the humerus (incorrect use of a crutch) Triceps usually escapes because derivation of the nerve giving off high in arm, but total paralysis of the extensor of the wrist and digits leads to the dropped wrist deformities.
  • 24. Fracture of the humerus
  • 25. Posterior interosseous nerve compression in the proximal forearm The PIN arises from the bifurcation of the radial nerve in the proximal forearm. The PIN is a motor-only nerve that innervates the extensor muscles and abductor pollicis longus distal to the elbow. The PIN does not innervate the ECRL, brachioradiais, or anconeus muscles; these muscles instead receive their innervation from the radial nerve proximally. Immediately distal to the bifurcation, the PIN travels through the radial tunnel, a 5-cm space defined by the capsule of the radiocapitellar joint dorsally, the ECRL and extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscles laterally, the biceps tendon and brachialis muscles medially, and the brachioradialis volarly. Within the area of the radial tunnel there are five potential sites of compression: (1) fibrous bands to the radiocapitellar joint between the brachialis and brachioradialis; (2) the recurrent radial vessels, or so- called leash of Henry; (3) the proximal edge of the ECRB; (4) the proximal edge of the supinator, or so-called arcade of Fröhse; and (5) the distal edge of the supinator. The arcade of Fröhse is felt to be the most common site of PIN compression. Compression of the PIN gives rise to two different compression syndromes, PIN and radial tunnel syndromes. The management of these two syndromes is identical.
  • 26. Anterior approach to the posterior interosseous nerve. This provides good exposure of the radial tunnel when the point of compression cannot be localized to the arcade of Frohse. The zigzag incision provides a wider exposure, but may be less cosmetically acceptable to the patient.
  • 27. Posterior interosseous nerve compression in the proximal forearm Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome Patients with PIN syndrome present with loss of finger and thumb extension, most often due to compression of the PIN at the arcade of Fröhse.135 Wrist extension is preserved, albeit with radial deviation, as innervation to the ECRL is unaffected. Radial tunnel syndrome Like PIN syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome results from compression of the PIN. In contrast to patients with PIN syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome patients complain of lateral proximal forearm pain with no
  • 28. Superficial radial nerve compression (Wartenberg’s syndrome) The fascia between the brachioradialis and ECRL is divided and the superficial radial nerve freed from its bed.
  • 29. Anatomy of the superficial sensory branch of the radial nerve.
  • 30. Ulnar Nerve Arise from medial cord of brachial plexus Root C8 and T1 (mostly C7) Descend on the posteromedial of the humerus. Then it goes posterior to the medial epicondyle.
  • 31. Enter anterior compartment muscles of forearm and supplies flexor carpi ulnaris and medial half flexor digitorum profundus. Then ulnar nerve enter palm of the hand and branch off to the superficial branch and deep branch. Deep branch innervate hypothenar muscles, intermediate hand muscles and thenar hand muscles (adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis (rare)) Ulnar Nerve
  • 32. Superficial branches of Ulnar nerve will innervate palmaris brevis and skin anterior and posterior of the hand (medial aspect of the hand/ one an half digits) Ulnar Nerve
  • 33.
  • 36. Cont… Ulnar nerve may be damaged in the groove behind the medial epicondyle either by trauma or entrapment. Leads to partial or completely lost of muscular and sensory innervations. The results of the ulnar nerve lesion leads to the typical ‘claw hand’ deformities. Due to lost of the power in the intrinsic hand muscles and unopposed actions of antagonistic muscles group. Wasting of hypothenar eminence. There are ‘guttering between metacarpals, inability to abduct the fingers or adduct the thumb.
  • 37.
  • 41. Median NerveArise from lateral root of lateral cord (C5,6,7) and medial root and medial cord (C8,T1) of brachial plexus. Passes down the midline of the arm in close association with the brachial artery. Passes in front of elbow joint (cubital fossa) then down to supply the muscles of the anterior of forearm. Then it continue into the hand through carpal tunnel where it supply intrinsic hand muscles and
  • 42. At the cubital fossa the anterior interosseous nerve arises from the median nerve Descend through the forearm and end at the wrist by giving the articular branch to the radiocarpal and intercarpal joint. It supplies flexor pollicis longus, lateral half flexor digitorum profundus and pronator quadratus
  • 43.  Motor – all anterior (flexor) compartment of forearm (except flexor carpi ulnaris and ulnar half of the flexor digitorum profundus ),pronator teres & quadratus, intrinsic hand muscles (LOAF;1,2 lumbricals, OP, FPB, APB)  Sensory – skin of the palmar aspect of the thumb and the lateral 2 ½ fingers and the distal ends of the same fingers and skin of distal phalanx on same finger Median Nerve
  • 45. Cont… Median nerve can be injured by deep cut with resultant lost of flexion at all IP joint except the distal ones in the ring and little finger. MCP still can be flexed at this fingers ( lumbricals) In the hand thumb is extend and adducted, lost of ability to abduct and oppose. Compression at the carpal tunnel give rise the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
  • 46. Variations in median nerve anatomy in the carpal tunnel. (A) The most common branching pattern of the motor branch is extraligamentous. (B)Subligamentous branching pattern of the motor branch. (C)Transligamentous course of the recurrent motor branch. (D) The motor branch can rarely arise from the ulnar border of the median nerve. (E) The motor branch can also lie superficial to the transverse carpal ligament.
  • 47. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Compression median nerve at the carpal tunnel Patient will experience numbness, tingling, or burning sensation at the thumb, index, middle and radial half of the ring finger. If untreated – weakness or atrophy of the thenar muscles.
  • 48. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome The six criteria included: (1) nocturnal numbness; (2) numbness and tingling in the median nerve distribution; (3) weakness and/or atrophy of the thenar muscles; (4) Tinel sign; (5) Phalen’s test; and (6) loss of two-point discrimination.
  • 49. American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons clinical practice guidelines Nonsurgical treatment is an option for early CTS. Surgery is an option when there is evidence of median nerve denervation. A second nonsurgical treatment or surgery is recommended when initial nonsurgical treatment fails after 2–7 weeks Local steroid injection or splinting is recommended prior to treatment with surgery Oral steroids and ultrasound are also options for treatment
  • 50. American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons clinical practice guidelines Carpal tunnel release is recommended for treatment of CTS based on level I evidence Heat therapy does not have evidence to support its use in CTS. Surgical treatment with complete division of the flexor retinaculum is recommended, regardless of the technique used. Wrist immobilization is not recommended postoperatively after routine carpal tunnel release. No recommendation is made regarding use of postoperative rehabilitation.
  • 51. Ligament of Struthers. This proximal site of compression of the median nerve is formed by a supracondylar bony process and a ligament that extends to the medial humeral epicondyle.
  • 52. Pronator syndrome aching pain in the proximal volar forearm with paresthesias sensation in the palmar cutaneous nerve distribution lost attempt to pronate the neutral forearm against resistance; if symptoms are elicited during this maneuver as the elbow is extended, compression at the level of pronator teres should be suspected.82 If pain or paresthesias are triggered by resisted flexion of the fully supinated forearm, the lacertus fibrosus may represent the site of compression. Finally, if resisted contraction of the FDS to the long finger reproduces symptoms, the FDS fibrous
  • 53. Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the median nerve fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the anterior interosseous nerve through its entire course.
  • 54. AIN syndrome AIN syndrome results from the isolated compression of the AIN under the fibrous arch of the FDS or the pronator teres. Patients with AIN syndrome will describe weakness of pinch, which affects activities such as picking up small objects and writing, without sensory loss.
  • 55. Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the median nerve fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the anterior interosseous nerve through its entire course.
  • 56. Decompression of the proximal median nerve. (A) The lacertus fibrosis is divided. (B) The exposed deep head of the pronator teres and fibrous arch of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) are also divided to decompress the median nerve fully. (C) The radial origin of the FDS is elevated to expose the anterior interosseous nerve through its entire course.
  • 57. Anatomic boundaries and contents of the quadrilateral space.
  • 58. Suprascapular anatomy. The suprascapular nerve passes under the transverse scapular ligament and through the suprascapular notch. Similarly, the spinoglenoid notch is covered by the spinoglenoid ligament. Both ligaments can compress the suprascapular nerve
