which nerve is correctly matched to the injury:
- a. Carpal tunnel with long thoracic nerve
- b. Wrist drop with ulnar nerve
- c. Claw hand with radial nerve
- d. Interosseous atrophy with median nerve
- e. Tarsal tunnel with tibial nerve.
Unfortunately, the statement "e.
Tarsal tunnel with tibial nerve" is not correct. While the tibial nerve does pass through the tarsal tunnel, it is the common peroneal nerve that is most commonly associated with tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Here is the corrected list:
a. Carpal tunnel with median nerve - This is correct.
The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, and compression of this nerve can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
b. Wrist drop with radial nerve - This is correct.
The radial nerve supplies the muscles responsible for extending the wrist and fingers, and damage to this nerve can lead to wrist drop.
c. Claw hand with ulnar nerve - This is correct.
The ulnar nerve supplies the intrinsic muscles of the hand, and damage to this nerve can lead to a "claw hand" deformity, where the fingers are curled inwards.
d. Interosseous atrophy with median nerve - This is correct.
The median nerve also supplies the interosseous muscles of the hand, and damage to this nerve can lead to atrophy of these muscles.
e. Tarsal tunnel with common peroneal nerve - This is corrected.
The common peroneal nerve is the branch of the sciatic nerve that passes through the tarsal tunnel, and compression of this nerve can lead to tarsal tunnel syndrome.
