Abstract:
Rapid deceleration while wearing a lap-shoulder strap seatbelt may result in a traction injury to the brachial plexus on the side of the shoulder strap. Occult vascular injury should be considered in patients with this injury pattern. The deficit will recover after a neuropraxic type injury.
