Disability & deformity: -Unable to abduct arm from 15 – 90 Degrees. -Arm is adducted. Late wasting changes: Wasting of deltoid, flat shoulder and prominent acromion.

Disability and deformity: -Unable to adduct fingers and can not grip a piece of paper between medial 4 fingers or between thumb and index. -Unable to abduct medial 4 fingers. -Unable to do writing position. -Partial claw hand. Extension of metacarpo-phalangeal joints. Flexion of interphalangeal joint of medial 4 fingers with lesser affection of index and middle fingers. Late wasting changes: -Wasting of hypothenar eminence. -Prominent metacarpal bones due to wasting of dorsal interossii muscles.

Sensory loss: -Loss of sensation in medial 1/3 of palm and dorsum of hand. -Loss of sensation in medial 1&1/2 fingers. Disability & Deformity: -As at wrist, loss of adduction of all fingers & loss of abduction of medial 4 fingers. -Weak flexion of wrist with radial deviation due to paralysis of flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. -As in injury at wrist (partial claw hand) but with lesser flexion in ring and little fingers due to paralysis of medial ½ of flexor digitorum profundus muscle (Ulnar paradox). Late wasting changes: -Wasting at the medial side of forearm. -Wasting in muscles of the hand as with injury at wrist.

loss: Paralysis of triceps and muscles of the back of forearm. Sensory loss: Loss of sensation in skin of: Back of arm, lower lateral of arm, back of forearm and back of lateral 2/3 of dorsum of hand and lateral 3 and half fingers. Disability: Unable to extends forearm against resistance, extends hand against resistance, extends fingers against resistance and supinate extended forearm. Weak hand grip. Deformity: Flexed elbow with wrist and finger drop. Late wasting changes: Wasting of back of arm & forearm.

Sensory loss: Loss of sensation in: lower lateral of arm, back of forearm and back of lateral 2/3 of dorsum of hand and back of lateral 3 and half fingers. Disability: Weak extension of forearm. Unable to extends hand against resistance, extends fingers against resistance and supinate extended forearm. Deformity: • Flexed elbow with wrist and finger drop. Weak hand grip. Late wasting changes: • Partial wasting of back of arm and wasting of back of forearm.

Disability & deformity: -Weak extension of wrist with abduction of the hand. -Unable to extends fingers. -Finger drop. -No wrist drop due to action of ext.carpi radialis longus. Late wasting changes: -Wasting of back of forearm with lesser affection to lateral side.
