Modern aspects of the treatment of traumatic brachial plexus injury

In the domestic literature, the issues of modern treatment of traumatic injury to the brachial plexus were not widely covered. Among peripheral nerve injuries, brachial plexus trauma ranks third in frequency, and first in terms of the degree and severity of disability. Due to the anatomical structure of the brachial plexus trunks, a variety of mechanisms and levels of damage, clinical forms of their manifestations, as well as various concomitant lesions create difficulties in the diagnosis of localization, the extent of the pathological process and its treatment. Modern diagnostic methods and the introduction of microsurgical techniques have significantly improved the results of the restoration of the functions of the upper limb.
