The change in position of the axillary nerve with rotation of the arm

Clinical Anatomy, 2018
The axillary nerve is the most commonly injured nerve around the arm. In the deltopectoral approach, classical teaching states that lateral rotation of the humerus increases the distance between the subscapularis and the axillary nerve. This is the first anatomical study to quantify the distance change between the axillary nerve and subscapularis ...

A Comparison of Outcomes of Triceps Motor Branch–to–Axillary Nerve Transfer or Sural Nerve Interpositional Grafting for Isolated Axillary Nerve Injury

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2016
Background: Deltoid paralysis following isolated axillary nerve injury can be managed with triceps motor branch transfer or interpositional grafting. No consensus exists on the treatment that results in superior deltoid function.

Axillary Nerve Entrapment

2016
The long course of the axillary nerve and its proximity to the shoulder joint make it vulnerable to injuries: athletic, traumatic, and iatrogenic. It can become entrapped in the quadrilateral space and generate symptoms of shoulder pain and weakness.

A Surgical Framework for the Management of Incomplete Axillary Nerve Injuries

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 2022
Background  Axillary nerve injury is the most common nerve injury affecting shoulder function. Nerve repair, grafting, and/or end-to-end nerve transfers are used to reconstruct complete neurotmetic axillary nerve injuries.

Outcome Analysis of Medial Triceps Motor Nerve Transfer to Axillary Nerve in Isolated and Brachial Plexus–Associated Axillary Nerve Palsy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
Background: Since 2007, the authors have performed the triceps–to–axillary nerve transfer using the medial triceps branch to reconstruct axillary nerve function in brachial plexus and isolated axillary nerve palsies. Methods: A retrospective chart review

Double-Nerve Transfer to the Axillary Nerve in Traumatic Upper Trunk Brachial Plexus Injuries Using an Axillary Approach: Anatomical Description and Preliminary Case Series.

Operative Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Restoration of shoulder external rotation remains challenging in patients with C5/C6 brachial plexus injuries (BPI). OBJECTIVE To describe a double-nerve transfer to the axillary nerve (AN), targeting both its anterior and posterior motor ...

Axillary Nerve Injuries in Children

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2000
Isolated axillary nerve injury is uncommon, particularly in children. The motor deficit of shoulder abduction may not recover spontaneously and can be a substantial handicap. Detection may be difficult initially, as the injury is masked by trauma such as head injury, and concomitant shoulder injury requiring immobilization. After mobilization, patients

Injuries of the axillary nerve [PDF]

Obere Extremität, 2015
Axillary nerve injury can complicate trauma to the shoulder. Loss of active shoulder abduction indicates additional injury to the suprascapular nerve, rotator cuff or skeletal structures. Neurophysiological testing and magnetic resonance imaging help to define the injury.

Quantitative analysis of the distal, lateral, and posterior articular branches of the axillary nerve to the shoulder: implications for intervention

Regional anesthesia and pain medicine, 2019
Introduction The terminal sensory branches innervating the shoulder joint are potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of shoulder pain. This cadaveric study investigated in detail the anatomic pathway of the posterior terminal sensory branch of ...

Surgical anatomy of the axillary nerve

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1992
Any surgical approach that splits the deltoid puts the axillary nerve at risk secondary to extension from traction or sharp dissection. Standard texts an anatomy and chapters on surgical approaches frequently state the axillary nerve comes to lie approximately 2 inches from the acromion.
