Brachial Plexus Robert Taylor Drinks Cold Beer
Brachial Plexus Injuries Injuries to the brachial plexus affects movement and cutaneous sensations in the upper limb. Erb-Duchenne Palsy: Upper Trunk or C5,6 Roots – results in waiters tip. • Shoulder Adducted • Medially rotated arm • Extend Elbow
Brachial Plexus Injuries Compression of cords of the brachial plexus from prolonged hyperabduction of the arm. Results in pain radiating down the arm with hand weakness.
Brachial Plexus Injuries Klumpke Palsy: Less common, inferior brachial plexus injury(C8-T1), may be from trying to break a fall. Intrinsic muscle of the hand affected, develops claw hand.

Klumpke Palsy: Less common, inferior brachial plexus injury(C8-T1), may be from trying to break a fall. Intrinsic muscle of the hand affected, develops claw hand. Acute Brachial Plexus Neuritis (Parsonage Turner Syndrome): sudden on set of severe shoulder pain then is followed by weakness. Inflammation is often preceded by some event (URI, Vaccination or Non-specific Trauma)
Biceps Brachii • Musculocutaneous (C5,C6) • (bi, two + L. caput, head) – 2 heads • Short head • Tip of coracoid process • Long head • Supraglenoid tubercle of scapula • Single distal tendon attached to Radius with biceps tendon • Bicipital aponeurosis runs from biceps tendon across the cubital fossa • Protects structures of cubital fossa • No attachment to Humerus • “Three joint muscle” • Glenohumeral joint • Elbow joint • Radioulnar joint • When elbow is extended – flexor of elbow • Elbow 90o : • Supinated – flexor • Pronated – primary supinator of the arm • Semiprone – active with resistance only
Bicipital Myotatic Reflex Deep Tendon Reflex / Muscle Stretch Reflex – C5 Biceps Tendonitis Wear and tear, usually long head of the biceps Speed’s test – flexion pain at insertion Yergason test – elbow 90o resisted supination
Brachialis LAB • Musculocutaneous C5, C6 • Flexes forearm all positions – not effected by position • MAIN flexor of the forearm
Coracobrachialis LAB • Musculocutaneous C5, C6, C7 • Flexes arm • Helps arm adduction • Stabilizes glenohumeral joint from inferior dislocation • Carrying suitcase
Triceps brachii LAB • Radial nerve (C6,C7, C8) • 3 heads • Long head • Crosses glenohumeral joint • Helps Adduct and extend Arm • Stabilizes inferior dislocation • Medial head • Workhorse of forearm extension • Lateral head • Strongest but is recruited against resistance
Anconeus • Radial C7, C8, T1 • Tenses the capsule of the elbow joint preventing its being pinched during extension.
Muscles of the forearm flexor • The flexors are arranged in three layers • Superficial layer • 4 muscles • Crosses elbow • Intermediate layer • 1 muscle • Crosses elbow • Deep layer • 3 muscles • Crosses wrist and phalanges
Superficial Layer – forearm LAB • Pronator Teres • Median nerve C6, C7 • pronates forearm • medial boarder cubital fossa
Superficial Layer – forearm LAB • Flexor carpi radialis • Median nerve C6, C7 • Flexes wrist • Helps abducts wrist
Superficial Layer – forearm LAB • Palmaris Longus • Median nerve • Absent in 14% of people (usually left) • Tendon passes superficial to the flexor retinaculum • Attaches to palmar aponeurosis • Median nerve runs lateral to tendon • CTS Injection - medial
Superficial Layer – forearm LAB • Flexor Carpi Ulnaris • Most medial flexor • Flexes and adducts the wrist if acting alone • Ulnar C7, C8
Intermediate layer – forearm LAB • Flexor digitorum superficialis • Distal end four tendons go through carpal tunnel to middle phalanges • Flexes four fingers • PIP • MCP – stronger • Median C7, C8, T1 • Test – one finger flexed PIP, others extended
Deep Layer – forearm LAB • Flexor Digitorum Profundus • Only muscle that flex the DIP • Medial part – Ulnar C8, T1 • Lateral part - Median (anterior interosseous) C8, T1 • Flexor Pollicis Longus • Only muscle to flex the 1st IP, MCP and CMC joints • Median (anterior interosseous) C8, T1
Deep Layer – forearm LAB • Pronator quadratus • Deepest muscle of anterior forearm • Sometimes considered fourth layer • Median (anterior interosseous) C8, T1
Posterior muscle of the forearm • Superficial layer • Deep layer and Outcropping muscles of deep layer
Extensor muscle of the forearm • Divided into 3 functional groups • Extend, abduct, adduct the hand at the wrist • Extensor carpi radialis longus • Extensor carpi radialis brevis • Extensor carpi ulnaris • Extend the medial four fingers • Extensor digitorum • Extensor indicis • Extensor digiti minimi • Extend or abduct the thumb • Abductor pollicis longus • Extensor pollicis brevis • Extensor pollicis longus
Superficial LAB • Extensor carpi radialis longus • Extensor carpi radialis brevis • Extend and abduct wrist • Radial nerve C6, C7
Superficial LAB • Extensor digitorum • Four tendons to extensor hood of 4 fingers • Extensor digiti minimi • 5th finger • Extensor carpi ulnaris • Extend and adducts wrist joint • Radial nerve C7, C8 (posterior interosseous nerve)
Deep Layer LAB • Supinator • Prime supinator with arm extended • Radial (deep branch) • Extensor indicis • Independent extensor of 2nd finger • Radial C7, C8 – (PI)
Deep Layer - Outcropping LAB • Abductor pollicis longus • Base of 1st metacarpal • Extensor pollicis brevis • Base of 1st proximal phalanx • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis • Extensor pollicis longus • Base of 1st distal phalanx Radial nerve C7, C8
Medial & Lateral Epicondylitis • Medial – Common Flexor Tendon • Pitcher’s (Little League) Elbow • Lateral – Common Extensor Tendon • Tennis Elbow • Treatment • Splint • Physical Therapy • NSAIDs • Steroids Oral • Steroid Injection at the common flex/ext tendon
Intrinsic muscle of the hand • Thenar muscle • Abductor pollicis brevis • Median nerve C8, T1 • Flexor pollicis brevis • Superficial head – Median C8, T1 • Deep head – Ulnar C8, T1
Intrinsic muscle of the hand • Thenar muscle • Opposes thumb • Median nerve C8, T1 • Adductor pollicis • Ulnar nerve C8, T1
Intrinsic muscle of the hand • Hypothenar muscle • Abductor digiti minimi • Flexor digiti minimi • Opponens digiti minimi • Ulnar nerve C8, T1
Intrinsic muscle of the hand Short Muscles • Lumbricals – Ulnar • Flex fingers at the MCP joint • Extend fingers at IP joint • Interossei • Dorsal – Abduct from axial line • Palmar – Adduct to axial line • DAB with a PAD
Nursemaid’s Elbow • Preschool children • Particularly girls • Transient subluxation • Treatment consists of manipulating the child's arm so that the annular ligament and radial head return to their normal anatomic positions. • Immobilize the elbow and palpate the region of the radial head with one hand. • The other hand applies axial compression at the wrist while supinating the forearm and flexing the elbow. • As the arm is manipulated, a click or snap can be felt at the radial head.
