- Radial nerve injury leads to wrist-drop.
- Ulnar nerve injury at the wrist results in claw hand deformity.
- Ulnar nerve injury at the elbow impairs finger adduction and abduction due to paralysis of palmar and dorsal interossei.
- Median nerve injury at the elbow results in a condition known as 'Benediction Attitude', characterized by flexion of the wrist and fingers.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome is characterized by numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers, especially at night.
