Brachial Plexus Injuries: Erb's Palsy Vs Klumpke's Palsy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erb’s Palsy and Klumpke’s Palsy 🧠 are two classic brachial plexus injuries that every medico must master for both theory and clinical scenarios! Erb’s Palsy ⚡, also known as "Waiter’s Tip" deformity, is caused by injury to the upper trunk (C5-C6) of the brachial plexus, typically due to excessive lateral traction during childbirth or trauma like a fall on the shoulder 🚑. It presents with paralysis of muscles supplied by the suprascapular, musculocutaneous, and axillary nerves, affecting shoulder abduction (deltoid, supraspinatus), external rotation (infraspinatus), and elbow flexion (biceps, brachialis) — resulting in the limb hanging by the side, internally rotated, and pronated 🫴. In contrast, Klumpke’s Palsy involves the lower trunk (C8-T1), commonly due to hyperabduction injuries (e.g., a baby pulled by the arm during delivery or falling from a height and catching oneself) 🍼🧗. It affects the ulnar and median nerves, especially the intrinsic hand muscles, leading to the "Claw Hand" deformity 🤏 with loss of fine motor skills and sensory deficits on the medial aspect of the forearm and hand. If the T1 fibers to sympathetic chain are also damaged, it results in Horner’s Syndrome (ptosis, miosis, anhidrosis) 😵. Both palsies are crucial for clinical diagnosis, EMG studies, and surgical planning, and are hot favorites in NEET PG, USMLE, FMGE, and NEXT exams 🔥. Remember: Erb = Upper trunk = Elbow extended, Klumpke = Lower trunk = Claw hand + sometimes Horner’s. These are not just academic topics, but essential for understanding trauma care, neonatal injury assessment, and neuromuscular anatomy 💉🧬. #ErbsPalsyVsKlumpkesPalsy #BrachialPlexusInjury #UpperLimbAnatomy #WaitersTip #ClawHand #HornersSyndrome #NEETPG2025 #USMLE2025 #FMGE2025 #NEXTExamPrep #MedicalConceptsSimplified #HighYieldAnatomy #MBBSAnatomy #ClinicalAnatomy #NerveInjuries #NeonatalPalsy #OrthopaedicAnatomy #DoctorGoals #MedStudentLife #StudyWithMe #AnatomyShorts #AnatomyMCQs #YouTubeMedicalEducation
