Abstract:
Confirming the presence or absence of a functioning nerve root in traumatic brachial plexus injuries is vital in the surgical decision-making process. Intraoperative neuromonitoring can confirm intact rootlets with the use of motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials. The purpose of this article is to describe the rationale and details of intraoperative neuromonitoring to provide a basic understanding of its role in decision-making in patients with brachial plexus injuries.
