Brachial Plexus Injuries

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1978
Brachial plexus injuries are uncommon. They are, however, complicated lesions because of the concomitant injury to adjacent structures and the imposing anatomy of the brachial plexus. Physicians who will be consulted in the management of such injuries should periodically consider the principles of management.

This study was undertaken to investigate the pathogenesis of brachial plexus stretching injuries at an intensity level not severe enough to cause avulsion injury. While we performed traction on 64 forelegs of 32 rats, we evaluated changes in the blood flow in the extrinsic and intrinsic microvascular systems of the brachial plexus.

Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries

Scottish Medical Journal, 2004
It is clear that OBPP will continue to be a challenge for the foreseeable future. Because it is a rare condition the best results occur in specialised units for the fairly small number of patients who do not make a full recovery within two to three months of birth. This figure varies from 10 to 80%, according to the literature.
