Brachial Plexus – Cords and Branches
Lateral Musculocutaneous Median Medial Ulnar Posterior Radial Axillary Thoracodorsal Subscapular
58
Lateral Cord Musculocutaneous nerve Off lateral cord Course:
Anterior arm Becomes cutaneous and gives skin sensation to lateral forearm Innervates: Corocobrachialis (motor) Biceps brachii (motor) Brachialis (motor) Skin distal to the elbow (sensory)
59
Medial Cord Ulnar nerve Course: Innervates: Comes off medial cord
Descends along medial side of arm Passes posterior to medial epicondyle Follows the ulna Superficial to carpal tunnel into hand Branches to supply intrinsics and skin Innervates: Flexor carpi ulnaris (motor) Flexor digitorum profundus (motor) Most intrinsic hand muscles (motor) Dorsal branch supplies skin of medial 2/3 of hand (sensory)
60
Both Medial and Lateral Cords
Median nerve Course: Middle of brachial plexus (from lateral and medial cords) Does not branch in arm Distal to elbow provides many branches to most forearm flexors Passes through carpal tunnel to hand Innervates: Anterior forearm (motor) Most flexors, some intrinsics (thumb) 2/3 Lateral palm (sensory) Dorsum of fingers 2 and 3 (sensory)
61
Posterior Cords Radial nerve Largest branch of brachial plexus
Comes from posterior cord Course: Through arm Around humerus Around lateral epicondyle (then divides) Innervates: Posterior muscles of arm and forearm Triceps brachii, anconeus, supinator, brachioradialis Divides in forearm: Superficial Skin of arm and dorsolateral surface of hand Deep Extensor muscles of forearm (eg E. carpi radialis L + B)
62
Posterior Cord Axillary nerve Subscapular nerve Thoracodorsal nerve
Branches off posterior cord Course: Runs posterior to humerus Runs with caudal humeral circumflex artery Innervates: Deltoid and teres minor (motor) Capsule of shoulder, skin of shoulder (sensory) Subscapular nerve Subscaplaris, Teres major Thoracodorsal nerve Runs with thoracodorsal artery and nerve Latissimus dorsi

Cutaneous Innervation to Hand
65
Nerve Damage Ulnar nerve Median nerve Radial nerve “Claw hand”
Inability to extend fingers at interphalangeal joints, results in permanent flexion = claw Median nerve “Ape hand” Inability to oppose thumb Radial nerve “Wrist drop” Inability to extend the hand, inability to fully extend forearm
66
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome At A Glance
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by irritation of the median nerve at the wrist. Any condition that exerts pressure on the median nerve can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness and tingling of the hand. Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is suspected based on symptoms, supported by physical examination signs, and confirmed by nerve conduction testing. Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome depends on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause.
