  2. Axillary nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_nerve

    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 ...

  3. Quadrangular space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrangular_space

    The quadrangular space is a clinically important anatomic space in the arm as it provides the anterior regions of the axilla a passageway to the posterior regions. In the quadrangular space, the axillary nerve and the posterior humeral circumflex artery can be compressed or damaged due to space-occupying lesions or disruption in the anatomy due to trauma.

  4. Humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus

    The axillary nerve is located at the proximal end, against the shoulder girdle. Dislocation of the humerus's glenohumeral joint has the potential to injure the axillary nerve or the axillary artery. Signs and symptoms of this dislocation include a loss of the normal shoulder contour and a palpable depression under the acromion.

  6. Erb's palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erb's_palsy

    The most commonly involved nerves are the suprascapular nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, and the axillary nerve. [9] [10] The signs of Erb's palsy include loss of sensation in the arm and paralysis and atrophy of the deltoid, biceps, and brachialis muscles. [6] "The position of the limb, under such conditions, is characteristic: the arm hangs by ...

  7. Deltoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoid_muscle

    These neuromuscular segments are supplied by smaller branches of the axillary nerve, and work in coordination with other muscles of the shoulder girdle include pectoralis major and supraspinatus. [9] The axillary nerve is sometimes damaged during surgical procedures of the axilla, such as for breast cancer. It may also be injured by anterior ...

  9. Triangular space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_space

    The triangular space (also known as the medial triangular space, [1] upper triangular space, [2] medial axillary space or foramen omotricipitale [3]) is one of the three spaces found at the axillary space. The other two spaces are the quadrangular space and the triangular interval. [4]
