Improper injection technique can cause ulnar nerve damage. Healthcare providers must carefully consider patient anatomy and positioning during injections to prevent nerve injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Medical Procedures

Background:

  • Nerve injuries are potential complications of medical injections.
  • Understanding anatomical landmarks is crucial for safe injection practices.

Observation:

  • Two healthy individuals developed ulnar mononeuropathies after injections administered by the same nurse.
  • The injections were intended for the deltoid muscle but likely impacted the ulnar nerve.

Findings:

  • The ulnar nerve was inadvertently injured during an attempted deltoid injection.
  • A "sidearm" injection technique may have contributed to the nerve damage.

Implications:

  • Highlights the critical need for precise anatomical knowledge during injections.
  • Emphasizes the importance of correct patient and needle positioning to avoid nerve trauma.
