Abstract

Peripheral nerve injury due to intramuscular injections and excessive physiotherapy is rare when done correctly but not inevitable. Axillary nerve injury responds well to conservative management but at times, it requires surgical intervention. In this study, we will report an interesting case of peripheral nerve injury with the challenge to find the underlying cause of the presentation and discuss a brief review of literature.
