Adult traumatic brachial plexus injuries (BPI) are devastating lesions that affect function and daily living activities and also have a substantial social, economic, and psychological impact, creating lifelong disabilities. Epidemiological studies of BPI are critical for addressing the magnitude of the ...
Adult traumatic brachial plexus injury involves injury of the C5-T1 spinal nerves. Common patterns of injury include "upper arm" and "total arm" types. The specific signs of preganglionic avulsion injury infer a poor prognosis for spontaneous recovery and surgery may be needed. Detailed preoperati...

equina, brachial or lumbosacral plexus, or peripheral nerve injury. Gunshot injuries that do not penetrate the cord are allowed. Multiple trauma is allowed as long as it is not so severe as to prevent neurologic measurement evaluation or interpretation....
In partial brachial plexus injuries, nerve transfers can greatly improve shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand function. Intraoperative electrical stimulation can be used to diagnose precisely which nerve is injured and to choose which nerve fascicles should be transferred. Finally, measuring the postoperative...
