ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

---

A) a lesion in the lower trunk

This answer is incorrect.

The fibrillations suggest an active peripheral nerve lesion. The pronator teres muscle receives innervation from the median nerve, the lateral cord, the upper and middle trunks, and the C6 and C7 nerve roots. The branch to pronator teres arises from the median nerve proximal to the origin of the anterior interosseous nerve.   (See References)
