Upper Limb Nerve Injury

  1. Deep & Superficial Hand

    Take a look at the hand anatomy. What are the two compartments on the palmer side of the hand? Each muscle in the hand generates a different motion; identify each muscle and their action within the hand. If the median nerve was cut proximally to the carpal tunnel, what deficits would you expect to see in the hand? What if the ulnar nerve was cut?

    Use the 3D model and the cross sections to identify which structures must be traversed (from superficial to deep) for a surgical approach to the shoulder. What do you need to be extra careful of up in this region?
