	Dr. Koop - Axillary nerve dysfunction
		Axillary nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation of the shoulder because of damage to the axillary nerve.
		Axillary nerve dysfunction is a form of peripheral neuropathy.
		Conditions associated with axillary nerve dysfunction include fracture of the humerus (upper arm bone), pressure from casts or splints, improper use of crutches, intramuscular injections, and shoulder dislocation.

		In this region, the relationship of the axillary (brachial) artery to the radial, median, and ulnar nerves is consistent and aids the surgeon in nerve identification.
		Approximately 8 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle, the ulnar nerve normally passes from the anterior plane of the medial intermuscular septum to the posterior plane of the septum.
		The ulnar nerve throughout the forearm is in the plane between the flexor carpi ulnaris and the flexor digitorum profundus muscles.

		Axillary nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation of the shoulder because of damage to the axillary nerve.
		Dysfunction of a single nerve group, such as the axillary nerve, is called mononeuropathy.
		Conditions associated with axillary nerve dysfunction include fracture of the humerus (upper arm bone), pressure from casts or splints, improper use of crutches, intramuscular injections, and shoulder dislocation.

	VI. The Arteries. 4b. The Axilla. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The axillary artery and vein, with the brachial plexus of nerves, extend obliquely along the lateral boundary of the axilla, from its apex to its base, and are placed much nearer to the anterior than to the posterior wall, the vein lying to the thoracic side of the artery and partially concealing it.
		At the forepart of the axilla, in contact with the Pectorales, are the thoracic branches of the axillary artery, and along the lower margin of the Pectoralis minor the lateral thoracic artery extends to the side of the chest.
		At the back part, in contact with the lower margin of the Subscapularis, are the subscapular vessels and nerves; winding around the lateral border of this muscle are the scapular circumflex vessels; and, close to the neck of the humerus, the posterior humeral circumflex vessels and the axillary nerve curve backward to the shoulder.

	New York School Of Regional Anesthesia - Axillary Brachial Plexus Block
		The ulnar nerve is a terminal branch of the medial cord.
		The ulnar nerve emerges near the wrist lateral to the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon and crosses super-ficial to the flexor retinaculum with the ulnar artery on its lateral side.
		The musculocutaneous nerve is not consistently blocked with the axillary brachial plexus block, because this nerve leaves the brachial plexus sheath proximally.

		The supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves are branches of the 1st division of the trigeminal nerve that exit from the supraorbital foramen.
		The tibial nerve is localized with the presence of inversion and plantar flexion (internal nerve= inversion); the common peroneal nerve is localized by the presence of eversion and dorsiflexion.(external nerve= eversion).
		This is the distal cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve.

	eMedicine - Acute Nerve Injury : Article by Idan Sharon, MD
		Nerve injury is common in dislocations of the shoulder, with an incidence rate of 48% (Visser, 1999).
		The literature reveals that in nerve injury from traumatic dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the hip, the incidence rate is approximately 10% in adults and 5% in children.
		The sural nerve is the criterion standard for nerve autografts because of a favorable ratio of axons to epineuriums (Trumble, 2000).

	Radial nerve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The radial nerve originates as a terminal branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.
		Along with the deep brachial artery, the radial nerve winds around in the groove (between the medial and lateral heads of the triceps) towards the forearm, running laterally on the posterior aspect of the humerus.
		The superficial branch of the radial nerve descends in the forearm under the brachioradialis.

		Dysfunction of a single nerve group, such as the axillary nerve, is classed as mononeuropathy.
		Other tests are guided by the suspected cause of the nerve dysfunction, as suggested by the history, symptoms presented, and pattern of symptom development.
		Surgical exploration may be necessary to discover that the nerve dysfunction is caused by entrapment, in which case surgical decompression of the area may be of benefit.

	Axillary nerve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The axillary nerve travels through the quadrangular space with the posterial circumflex humeral artery and vein.
		A well placed strike to this nerve (such as by a ninja) can cause an overload on the nervous system, disabling the victim.

		The close association of the axillary nerve and the nerves that take off from the radial nerve to supply the triceps means that an axillary nerve injury can occur with triceps weakness and sparing of the distal radial nerve musculature.
		The axillary nerve then can be followed distally as it heads into the quadrangular space.
		The deep surface of the axillary nerve must be dissected carefully as this is the origin of the thoracodorsal nerve (to latissimus dorsi) as it heads inferiorly out of the axilla.

		Note that the anterior axillary fold (lateral border of pectoralis major) and the posterior axillary fold (latissimus dorsi and teres major), along with the axillary fascia, define the base of this space (armpit).
		After defining branches of the radial nerve to medial and lateral heads of the triceps, trace the nerve around the lateral border of the humerus until it enters the anterior compartment.
		Trace the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve from the medial cord throughout the neurovascular compartment, noting relations and point at which it enters the subcutaneous tissue.

	Axillary Nerve Palsy - Axillary Nerve Dysfunction Medical Reference Medical Encyclopedia Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Axillary nerve dysfunction is the lack of normal electrical transmission through the axillary nerve, which activates the shoulder muscles.
		This type of injury usually occurs when the axillary nerve is stretched or pinched.
		Axillary nerve dysfunction is usually diagnosed when the healthcare provider exams the individual and listens to the history of the problem.
