What nerve is particularly vulnerable to injury in a shoulder dislocation human anatomy?

All nerves forming the brachial plexus are vulerable to injuries. Most commonly affected are axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve and the radial nerve. The axillary nerve is injured in 37% making it the most commonly injured structure with this type of injury.Suprascapular nerve at 29%, and the radial nerve (22%).

What is the function of the medial nerve?

The median nerve provides sensory and motor function to the hand and forearm. It innervates muscles involved in flexion of the wrist and fingers, as well as sensation to the palm and fingers. Injury to the median nerve can result in weakness, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.


Who treats axillary hyperhidrosis?

Dermatologists typically treat axillary hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating in the underarm area. Treatments may include prescription antiperspirants, Botox injections, oral medications, or in severe cases, surgical procedures like sweat gland removal or nerve ablation.


An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of what nerve?

An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of the common peroneal nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles that extend the leg and dorsiflex the foot. Injury or compression of the common peroneal nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis in these muscles, resulting in difficulty extending the leg.

If the axillary nerve was damaged what muscle would be at risk of paralysis or atrophy?

Axillary nerve supplies the deltoid and the teres minor mucsles. So you wouldn't be able to abduct your arm otherwise. It is also the lateral cord of the brachial plexus.


Which plexus has the primary responsibility for innervating the deltoid?

The axillary nerve, which arises from the brachial plexus, is primarily responsible for innervating the deltoid muscle. It provides motor innervation to the deltoid muscle, controlling its function of shoulder abduction.
