Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries
Scottish Medical Journal, 2004It 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.

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.

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%

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.

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,

Brachial Plexus Traction Injuries
Hand Clinics, 1991Brachial 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.

Brachial plexus stretching injuries: Microcirculation of the brachial plexus
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1995This 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.

Managing brachial plexus injuries
Nursing Standard, 1994People 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 Stretch Injury
Journal of American College Health, 1983Abstract Upper trunk brachial plexopathy is a significant injury. Five percent to ten percent of “burners” result in a neurologic deficit which may take several weeks for full recovery. Anatomy, pathophysiology, physical examination, criteria for return to play, and therapy are reviewed.

Brachial plexus injury during central venous catheter insertion is uncommon. Understanding the anatomy and the relationship between the brachial plexus and the neck veins and arteries is highly important. The brachial plexus, stellate ganglion, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal and phrenic nerves are all closely associated with the internal jugular vein ...
