What Is Axillary Nerve Dysfunction?
The axillary nerve dysfunction is a peripheral nerve injury that can vary in severity among people who have this condition. It is characterized by feelings of a mild soreness to severe and debilitating muscle weakness. The axillary nerve can be damaged from trauma, and it does not always respond to a surgical intervention. At times, this injury can be difficult to identify and diagnose, which can leave the person with a permanent disability and lowered quality of life. It can be caused by a car accident, and can have serious consequences for anyone who has had this diagnosis after a car accident.

How Is Axillary Nerve Dysfunction Diagnosed by a Doctor?
The axillary nerve dysfunction is diagnosed by a doctor or healthcare provider, usually with an initial physical examination. The doctor will visually inspect the upper extremity, and discuss the trauma of a car accident to the area of the arm or body. Then the area will be palpated, and the neck will be felt for tenderness and any changes in muscle tone. Next, there will be an evaluation of any passive and active ranges of motion, to determine if there are noted weaknesses in this area. Following that, a neurological examination will be reviewed, focusing on the axillary nerve and shoulder areas to ensure that the spine is not also damaged from the accident. Other clinical testing can include evaluating the deltoid and teres minor muscles, to review if there are any muscle strains or tendinopathies. Further testing will review any rotation lag, drop arm or other muscle weaknesses.
Is Surgery Always Recommended with an Axillary Nerve Dysfunction After an Accident?
Yes and no, depending on the case. In some cases, people can recover without a surgical procedure, but in other cases if you have axillary nerve dysfunction following a car accident or other type of accident, you may experience permanent paralysis in the shoulder or arm area. You may need and require extensive physical therapy to try to recover some semblance of normal motion in your shoulder and arms, but it may or may not work to give you normal movement back again after your accident.
Can Axillary Nerve Dysfunction Be Misdiagnosed as Another Condition by Mistake?
Yes, the case of an axillary nerve dysfunction does mimic other disease and condition diagnoses, including:
- Cervical radiculopathy
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Rotator cuff tear
- Brachial plexopathy
- Quadrilateral space syndrome
- Brachial neuritis
- Glenohumeral fracture/dislocation
- Subacromial impingement syndrome
- Herpes zoster
