Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2009Obstetric brachial plexus lesions (OBPLs) are typically caused by traction to the brachial plexus during labor. The incidence of OBPL is about 2 per 1000 births. Most commonly, the C5 and C6 spinal nerves are affected. The prognosis is generally considered to be good, but the percentage of children who have residual deficits may be as high as 20% to 30%

Ballistic Injuries of the Brachial Plexus
Hand ClinicsBallistic injuries of the brachial plexus represent a challenging clinical dilemma. Given the unique pathophysiology of ballistic penetrating trauma, time-sensitive management of vascular and bony stabilization must be balanced with a nuanced understanding of nerve injury and recovery in both space and time.

Traumatic Injuries to the Brachial Plexus
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981Transient lesions of the brachial plexus are fairly common but are difficult to recognize early because of other associated severe injuries of the brain and skeleton. They often cause hand edema, producing stiffness. In recent years, the understanding of the role of afferent sensory impulses and the application of microsurgical technique has helped in ...

Ultrasonography for Depiction of Brachial Plexus Injury
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2003Recent development of ultrasonographic equipment has allowed improved spatial resolution for visualizing normal and pathologic conditions of peripheral nerves. Regarding the brachial plexus, only ultrasonographic studies that have described the normal appearance have been reported.

Adult Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injuries
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2005Adult traumatic brachial plexus injuries are devastating life-altering injuries occurring with increasing frequency. Evaluation includes a detailed physical examination and radiologic and electrodiagnostic studies. Critical concepts in surgical management include knowledge of injury patterns, timing of surgery, prioritization in restoration of function,

The brachial plexus is a series of nerves formed by roots of cervical segments 5 to 8 (C5-C8) as well as the first thoracic nerve (T1). It functions to provide sensation and motor innervation to the skin and muscles of the chest and upper limb. It does so through different segments: roots, trunks, divisions, and cords.
