You're on an orthopedic surgery rotation. Your patient has had a trauma that caused him to lose the ability to extend at the wrist. Your resident tells you that the damage was to a cord and the nerve was severed at that cord. Which muscle do you expect to be paralyzed, other than the ones involved in extension at the wrist?

A. Adductor pollicis

B. Brachialis

C. Deltoid

D. Flexor carpi radialis

E. Pronator teres

[ArchivalUser]

Extension of the wrist = radial nerve
Both nerves, radial and axillary, arise from posterior cord.
Deltoid muscle is inervated by axillary nerve.

Answer C
Nice question
