The musculo - spiral is thenerve of extension. In theupper arm it supplies thetriceps (long, external, and in-ternal heads) and the anconeus;in the forearm, the extensorsof wrist and fingers (fig. 8). In musculo-spiral paralysis,therefore, there is immediateand very marked drop of thehand and fingers.^ The wrist and the first phalanges 1 Even at the time of injury it is quite common to see sudden con-traction of the flexors of the fingers Fig. 7.âAttitude of handin musculo - spiral para-lysis {wrist-drop). 28 CLINICAL FORMS OF NERVE LESIONS are flexed; the flexion is limp, without any con-tracture, and it is easily reducible (fig. 7).
