Abstract:
Brachial plexus injuries (B.p.i.) are lesions occurring more and more frequently due to high velocity road and sport traumas. They are severe lesions with disabling sequelae. Surgical procedures and results could greatly be improved in the last 2 decades. Although the anatomy of brachial plexus is well known, less known are the functional maps of the various brachial plexus elements. In this paper treatment modalities for obstetrical, traumatic (adult) and actinic B.p.i. are being described too.
