The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that originate from spinal nerves C5-T1. They go on to split into further trunks, divisions and branches (illustrated in the diagram below). Its primary function is to send efferent messages (muscle movement) to the peripheral muscles of the shoulder,...
Brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) is the most severe injury of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) involving the upper extremity [1]. Not only can it bring motor function loss of the affected limb, but also results in paresthesia of the innervation territory. Well-designed reconstruction surgical ...

structures, effectively preventing potential injury to critical nerves and blood vessels. By providing real-time warnings of critical structures within the surgical field that may not be immediately visible, AR-based 3D models also simplified the challenging learning curve of brachial plexus tumor ...
