Anatomy Thebrachial plexusBrachial PlexusThe large network of nerve fibers which distributes the innervation of the upper extremity. The brachial plexus extends from the neck into the axilla. In humans, the nerves of the plexus usually originate from the lower cervical and the first thoracic spinal...
Anatomy of the Injury (Brachial Plexus Injury) Brachial plexus anatomy is complex, but can be described in terms of basic function. The brachial plexus is derived from 5 "roots" or spinal nerves that exit the spinal cord in the neck. The nerves then pass through the axilla or armpit behind...
Axilla and Brachial Plexus: Anatomy The axilla is a pyramid-shaped space located between the upper thorax and the arm . The axilla has a base, an apex, and 4 walls (anterior, medial, lateral, posterior). The base of the pyramid is made up of the axillary skin . The apex is the ...
The most severe type of brachial plexus injury is known as an avulsion. When an avulsion is present, the connection to the spine has been severed, often through tearing the plexus away. As with a rupture, avulsion requires surgical intervention to reconnect the nerve network to the spine and...
Types of brachial plexus injury There are several different types and pathologies of nerve injuries: Neurapraxia: the nerve is stretched and damaged but not torn Rupture: the nerve is torn at a point along its length Axonotmesis: the nerve fibre ispartially severed: the axon and myelin sheath...

The brachial plexus is an important peripheral nerve functional unit and is extensively studied as a model for nerve injury management. Current areas of interest in the brachial plexus include clinical as well ...
