Injury of axillary nerve (axillary neuropathy) is a condition that can be associated with a surgical neck of the humerus fracture. It can also be associated with a dislocated shoulder [ 1 ] or with traction injury to the nerve, which may be caused by over-aggressive stretching or blunt trauma that does not result in fracture or dislocation. [ 2 ]
An EMG can be useful in determining if there is an injury to the axillary nerve. The largest numbers of axillary nerve palsies arise due to stretch injuries which are caused by blunt trauma or iatrogenesis. Axillary nerve palsy is characterized by the lack of shoulder abduction greater than 30 degrees with or without the loss of sense in the ...
Axillary nerve dysfunction is any disorder caused by damage to the axillary nerve. [1] The axillary nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus that innervates the deltoid and teres minor muscles. This nerve can be injured or damaged in a variety of ways - penetrating injury such as knife or gunshot wounds, surgical trauma, stretch injury (common ...
The nerve lies at first behind the axillary artery, [4] and in front of the subscapularis, [1] and passes downward to the lower border of that muscle.. It then winds from anterior to posterior around the neck of the humerus, in company with the posterior humeral circumflex artery, [2] through the quadrangular space (bounded above by the teres minor, below by the teres major, medially by the ...
As Owen explained: “It [used to] take me 30 minutes to get dressed. Now it takes 12. [I used to require] 20 caregiving hours a week and I was able to move down to about eight."

If the injury is axonal (the underlying nerve fiber itself is damaged), recovery may take months or years and full recovery may never occur. EMG and nerve conduction studies are typically performed to diagnose the extent and distribution of the damage, and to help with prognosis for recovery. [medical citation needed].
