Other donor sites, including a latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap, or a gluteal flap, may be employed, depending on the patient's anatomy.
For example, the musculocutaneous nerve supplies the elbow joint of humans with pain and proprioception fibres.
The lateral cord includes the musculocutaneous nerve and lateral branch of the median nerve.
Disadvantages of the axillary block include inadequate anesthesia in the distribution of the musculocutaneous nerve.
This was an indication of successful musculocutaneous nerve transfer because musculocutaneous nerve innervates biceps.
Symptoms include paralysis of the biceps, brachialis, and coracobrachialis (through the musculocutaneous nerve); the brachioradialis (through the radial nerve); and the deltoid (through the axillary nerve).
