Brachial Plexus Injuries and Dysfunctions

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1988
The brachial plexus and its associated structures demonstrate a propensity for certain disease processes not common to other areas of the nervous system. Brachial plexus disease produces a gait disturbance that may mimic musculoskeletal disease. When evaluating a case with possible traumatic brachial plexus disease, one relies heavily on historical ...

Brachial Plexus Birth Injury

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1991
Brachial plexus birth injuries occur at a frequency of 1-2 per 1000 births. Many of these injuries spontaneously resolve. Should spontaneous recovery not occur within the first 4-6 months of life, the prognosis for attaining movement and function of the affected appendage is significantly impaired.

INFRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURIES

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1965
Over a period of twenty years a small number of patients, thirty-one, have been seen who suffered injuries of the infraclavicular brachial plexus as a direct result of skeletal injury in the region of the shoulder joint. Except for isolated circumflex nerve injuries the prognosis is generally good whatever part of the plexus is damaged. The treatment

Brachial Plexus Traction Injuries

Hand Clinics, 1991
Brachial plexus traction injuries most frequently occur following acute flexion or extension of the neck. The symptomatology following this injury may be defined clearly into the anatomic patterns of upper trunk, lower trunk, posterior cord, medial cord, and lateral cord radiations.

Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2009
Obstetric 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%

Traumatic Injuries to the Brachial Plexus

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981
Transient 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 ...

Managing brachial plexus injuries

Nursing Standard, 1994
People who are injured in severe traumatic incidents such as motorcycle accidents and knife or gunshot attacks generally require intensive, life-saving surgical intervention for head, chest or spinal injuries. One of the problems associated with such accidents is brachial plexus injury.

Brachial Plexus Injuries

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988
Brachial plexus lesions with complete or partial palsy of the dependent musculature are a severe handicap for the patient. By microsurgery of lesions in continuity and nerve grafting in cases with complete interruption, some recovery can be achieved.

Ballistic Injuries of the Brachial Plexus

Hand Clinics
Ballistic 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.
