Case summary:
Mrs. Tanner, who is a 45-year-old mother, was traveling in the bus that met with an accident. When the paramedics arrived, they saw that she was lying on her side in the aisle. The injury resulted in damage to the sciatic nerve. This nerve passes through the thigh, lower leg, and foot. A reduction was performed, and it was noticed that the right thigh was flexed at the hip.
Characters in the case:
Mrs. Tanner and the doctor.
Adequate information:
Electromyography and nerve conduction studies showed that her sciatic nerve was damaged.
To determine:
The process by which the functions of the following muscles can be determined:
Extensor hallucis longus
Fibularis (peroneus) longus
gastrocnemius

A 20-year-old man complained that he was unable to raise his right upper limb. He held it limply at his side with his forearm and hand pronated. During questioning by the physician, he stated that he had been thrown from his motorcycle approximately 2 weeks previously and that he had hit his shoulder against a tree. He also recalled that his neck felt sore shortly after the accident.
Physical Examination: On examination it was found that the patient was unable to flex, abduct, or laterally rotate his arm. In addition, he lost flexion of the elbow joint. A lack of sensation was detected on the lateral surface of his arm and forearm. The physician requested radiographs of the cervical and pectoral girdle regions.
Radiology Report: No fractures are seen in the cervical region, pectoral girdle, and proximal part of the humerus.
Diagnosis: Injury of nerves derived from the brachial plexus.
Using your anatomical knowledge of the nerve supply to the upper limb, discuss the…
