What is Klumpkes Palsy?
Klumpke’s palsy is a rare injury that paralyzes the hand muscles and finger flexors. This condition occurs when nerves in the lower brachial plexus are injured. Due to the nature of brachial plexus injuries and the location of the nerves involved, it is extremely rare to have an isolated case of Klumpke’s palsy. Usually Klumpke’s palsy will coincide with Erb’s palsy, an injury referred to as complete or global brachial plexus palsy.
