Long thoracic nerve latencies were measured in 25 normal subjects. The nerve was stimulated at Erb's point. Monopolar electrodes were used to record the motor evoked response from the serratus anterior muscle. The mean long thoracic nerve latency was 3.9 +/- 0.6 ms. Four athletes with unilateral, isolated long thoracic nerve palsies were compared with the control group and with the uninvolved e...

متن کاملMapping the course of long thoracic nerve
Long thoracic nerve (LTN) injury has been reported after radiotherapy, trauma, patient’s position, transaxillary breast augmentation, implantation of transvenous leads, anaesthetic nerve block and transaxillary incision. Denervation of the serratus anterior muscle at LTN injury results in loss of scapular stabilization or winged scapula. LTN injury results in prolonged disability and impact on ...
