Summary
This case study details a successful one-stage surgery for severe upper limb arterial injury and brachial plexus nerve reconstruction. The patient regained elbow flexion and forearm rotation, enabling daily activities.
Area of Science:
- Trauma Surgery
- Neuro-reconstructive Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Open axillary arterial injuries necessitate rapid upper extremity reperfusion within 6 hours.
- Brachial plexus injuries can result from avulsion trauma, often requiring complex nerve reconstruction.
- Simultaneous vascular repair and nerve grafting present significant surgical challenges.

Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...
