Abstract:
Brachial plexus injuries are usually the result of violent trauma, or they may be chronic and recurrent with thoracic outlet syndrome. The case presented is an acute, nonrecurrent injury sustained by minor trauma. The injury to the brachial plexus occurred while a 15-year-old girl reached overhead to catch a baton. The treatment was conservative, and the patient made an almost complete recovery.

Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
