Axillary nerve palsy is a neurological condition in which the axillary (also called circumflex) nerve has been damaged by shoulder dislocation. It can cause weak deltoid and sensory loss below the shoulder.[1] Since this is a problem with just one nerve, it is a type of Peripheral neuropathy called mononeuropathy.[2] Of all brachial plexus injuries, axillary nerve palsy represents only .3% to 6% of them.[3]
