Thenar muscles may not be involved in median nerve injury in arm
Journal Title: The Journal of Community Health Management - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abnormal communication was seen between median nerve (MN) and musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) in a well-built 55years male cadaver. Communicating fibers from MCN to MN were separated till their destination. It was observed that these fibers were supplying thenar muscles. In addition to this, fibers were supplying cutaneous supply to index finger and thumb. So clinicians should be aware of such communications. Physiologists should also have knowledge about such communications as nerve conduction studied can show different results in cases with such anomalies.
