  2. Median nerve palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_nerve_palsy

    Injuries to the arm, forearm or wrist area can lead to various nerve disorders. One such disorder is median nerve palsy. The median nerve controls the majority of the muscles in the forearm. It controls abduction of the thumb, flexion of hand at wrist, flexion of digital phalanx of the fingers, is the sensory nerve for the first three fingers, etc.

    This spontaneous recovery can occur because distance between the injury location and the deltoid muscle is small. [7] Spontaneous recovery may take as long as 12 months. [5] In order to combat pain and inflammation of nerves, medication may be prescribed. [2] Surgery is an option, but it has mixed results within the literature and is usually ...

  4. Radial tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tunnel_syndrome

    The theory is that the radial nerve becomes irritated and/or inflamed from friction caused by compression by muscles in the forearm. [1]Some speculate that radial tunnel syndrome is a type of repetitive strain injury (RSI), but there is no detectable pathophysiology and even the existence of this disorder is questioned.

  5. Anterior interosseous syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_interosseous_syndrome

    Anterior interosseous syndrome is a medical condition in which damage to the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN), a distal motor and sensory branch of the median nerve, classically with severe weakness of the pincer movement of the thumb and index finger, and can cause transient pain in the wrist (the terminal, sensory branch of the AIN innervates the bones of the carpal tunnel).

  6. Posterior compartment of the forearm - Wikipedia

    There are generally twelve muscles in the posterior compartment of the forearm, which can be further divided into superficial, intermediate, and deep. Most of the muscles in the superficial and the intermediate layers share a common origin which is the outer part of the elbow, the lateral epicondyle of humerus.

  7. Biceps - Wikipedia

    Treatment of a biceps tear depends on the severity of the injury. In most cases, the muscle will heal over time with no corrective surgery. Applying cold pressure and using anti-inflammatory medications will ease pain and reduce swelling. More severe injuries require surgery and post-op physical therapy to regain strength and functionality in ...

  8. Soft tissue injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_tissue_injury

    The RICE method is an effective procedure used in the initial treatment of a soft tissue injury. [6] Rest It is suggested that the patient take a break from the activity that caused the injury in order to give the injury time to heal. Ice The injury should be iced on and off in 20 minute intervals, avoiding direct contact of the ice with the skin.

  9. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    Arthroscopic surgery also allows for shorter recovery time [29] although differences in postoperative pain or pain medication use are not seen between arthroscopic- and open-surgery. [67] A 2019 review found that the evidence does not support decompression surgery in those with more than 3 months of shoulder pain without a history of trauma.
