Key Research[edit | edit source]
There is only minimal, low quality evidence regarding isolated axillary nerve injury in shoulder dislocations, consisting mostly of descriptive and exploratory studies.
- Nerve Injury About the Shoulder in Athletes, Part 1- A descriptive study that reviews the anatomy of the axillary nerve, presentation and clinical examination, diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis, and treatment of axillary nerve injury, with emphasis on early recognition and diagnosis of this type of injury.
- Axillary Nerve Injuries in Contact Sports: Recommendations for Treatment and Rehabilitation- A descriptive study that discusses the relevant anatomy, proper examination and diagnosis of the axillary nerve injury, differential diagnosis (to include cervical spine clearing), conservative treatment, indications for surgical intervention, complications and prognosis, and rehabilitation. In regards to treatment, there is emphasis placed on the axillary nerve injury in conjunction with the shoulder dislocation.
- Diagnosis of Isolated Axillary Neuropathy in Athletes: Case Studies- The most recent case studies in the diagnosis of axillary nerve injury.
