Question of the Day:
We notice that our
snowboarder with the anterior shoulder dislocation has trouble abducting his
arm. He cannot abduct it beyond the first 20 degrees. What nerve has been
damaged, where is it damaged, and what muscles are affected? How could this
be confirmed by testing cutaneous sensation?
