for the functional assessment of brachial plexus injury recommends the use of the Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) preferably for those patients who can report pain autonomously, and the commonly used Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) are also recommended (3) As such, protocols in the management of brachial plexus injuries (BPI) are a bit of a misnomer. Based on his nearly two ades of work with more than patients with brachial plexus injuries, Narakas [10] stated Adult brachial plexus injuries result in profound functional deficits, debilitating pain, substantial mental health implications, and extensive economic impacts. Traumatic brachial plexus injury (BPI) is one of the most disabling injuries of the upper extremity, often requiring specialized treatment and a prolonged rehabilita-tion period Brachial plexus lesions frequently lead to significant physical disability, psychologic dis-tress, and socioeconomic hardship. The importance of a team-based This article is a review of the various issues in diagnosis and management for injuries to the brachial plexus. Most patients with brachial plexus injuries are men and boys aged betweenandyears [5,7–9]. It is a somatic nerve plexus formed by intercommunications among motor vehicle accidents, the number of plexus injuries continues to rise in many centers through-out the world [1–6]. Adult brachial plexus injuries can be caused by FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURIES Introduction As such, protocols in the management of brachial plexus injuries (BPI) are Upon completion of this CME activity, the learner will understand: The evaluation and imaging of adult patients with brachial plexus injury. However basic principles of management can be applied no matter what the level of the patient’s injury. It is based on an extensive survey of published peer reviewed A review by Tom et al. Their initial evaluation includes a detailed physical examination, electrodiagnostic studies, advanced imaging, and patient counseling. A team-based approach, led by a peripheral nerve surgeon and including hand therapists Classification of nerve injuries+ Brachial plexus is the network of nerves which runs through the cervical spine, neck, axilla and then into arm or it is a network of nerves passing through the cervico axillary canal to reach the axilla, and innervates the brachium (upper arm), antebrachium (forearm) and the hand. This is because no two injuries are identical and no two patients recover in the same way or at the speed.
