Introduction Foot Drop is a gait abnormality where the forefoot drops due to weakness or paralysis of the dorsiflexor muscles. It is a multifactorial condition involving central, spinal, or peripheral nervous systems. Management varies from conservative treatment to surgery depending on the underlying cause. Why Important..? FD affects mobility, gait, and quality of life; presents […]

Spinal Accessory to Suprascapular Nerve Transfer for Brachial plexus injury
Posterior Approach – Spinal Accessory to Suprascapular Nerve Transfer Reconstructing shoulder function following a nerve injury is a challenge due to its dynamic movement originating from several muscles. The supra/infraspinatus muscles are critical for shoulder function in that they initiate abduction of the arm, external rotation, and stabilization of the shoulder joint. In upper brachial […]

Radial Nerve Injury
Introduction The radial nerve arises from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. The posterior cord also gives rise to the axillary nerve. Radial nerve injury or compression may occur at any point along its course. Based on the level of involvement, radial nerve palsy is classified into: Very high radial nerve palsy – Axilla […]
