Abstract

The following is a retrospective case study of a 29 year old physical therapist who sustained an axillary neuropathy following a traumatic dislocation of the left shoulder in 1992. Axillary neuropathy is common following traumatic glenohumeral dislocation due to the nerve's proximity to the glenohumeral joint. In this case, axillary neuropathy was determined by nerve conduction studies and electromyelogram, as well as the person's clinical presentation. This patient responded well to conservative treatment, and he has gained full function of the left shoulder for work and sports.
