KROK 1 2018 – Question 165 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
A traumatology unit has received a patient with a wrist trauma and a clinical presentation of the damage to the nerve that passes through the carpal tunnel. Name this nerve:
- A. N. axillaris
- B. N. ulnaris
- C. N. medianus
- D. N. radialis
- E. N. musculocutaneus
Hint
Recall the contents of the space beneath the flexor retinaculum at the wrist, and which arm nerve enters the hand through that space instead of over or around it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
