Erb-Duchenne’s Palsy
 Injury
to C5-6 at Erb’s point
 Muscles paralysed – Deltoid,
biceps, brachialis,
barachioradialis

 Mechanism of injury : fall on
shoulder or excessive pulling of
head of new born during
delivery

 Injury
to C8-T1
 Muscles paralyzed – small muscles of hand
 Deformity Claw hand
 Mechanism : Sudden superior pull on upper limb

Symptoms:
Clawed hand due to loss of innervation of
Intrinsic muscle of the hand
The characteristic
clinical sign of
radial nerve injury
is wrist-drop.

Mechanism:
1.Crutches pressing in
axilla
2.Saturday night palsy!
Main Effect:
WRIST DROP


Weakness of hip flexion


Iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and sartorius
Knee extension

Quadriceps femoris
 Loss
of sensation over anterior thigh and
medial leg and foot
 Difficulty
adducting thigh
 Decreased sensation over upper medial
thigh
 Loss
of thigh abduction
& medial rotation

Gluteus medius, gluteus
minimus, and tensor
fasciae latae
 Positive
sign
Trendelenburg
 Weakened

hip extension
Gluteus maximus
 Most
noticeable when climbing stairs or
standing from a seated position
 Weakened
hip extension and
knee flexion
 Inability to dorsiflex,
plantar flex, evert, or invert
foot
 Loss of cutaneous
sensation over leg and foot
except medial area supplied
by saphenous nerve
 In


Popliteal fossa
Loss of plantar flexion of foot (mainly
gastrocnemius and soleus)
Weakened inversion (tibialis posterior),

Footdrop and loss of
eversion
 Causes

Direct trauma as
nerve passes
superficially around
neck of fibula
 Hip
joint
 Knee joint
 Ankle joint
 Posterior

dislocation
Posterior tearing of joint
capsule

Dislocated femoral head lies
on posterior surface of
ischium
Occurs in head-on collision
 Damage to Ischiofemoral
ligament


Complications

Sciatic nerve may damage.
 Unhappy
triad
 Anterior drawer sign
 Posterior drawer sign
 Anterior
drawer
sign: This injury
causes the free
tibia to slide
anteriorly under
the fixed femur.
 PCL
ruptures
allow the free
tibia to slide
posteriorly under
the fixed femur.
 The
lateral ligament is
injured because it is
much weaker than the
medial ligament.
 The anterior
talofibular ligament
part of the lateral
ligament is most
vulnerable and most
commonly torn during
ankle sprains.
