- Discussion:
- arises from anterior division of
upper (
C5,
C6) & middle trunks (
C7);
- lateral pectoral nerve
-
musculocutaneous nerve
- lateral root of the
median nerve : (FCR & pronator teres) and (sensory fibers to the median nerve)
- lateral cord branches into the
musculocutaneous nerve & lateral roots of the
median nerve;
- injury to lateral cord impairs elbow flexion (musculocutaneous) and wrist flexion (lateral root of median nerve);
