+Brachial Plexus Injury: Adults
![Page 11: Brachial plexusBrachial Plexus Formed by ventral rami of spinal nerves C5-T1 Five ventral rami form three trunks that separate into six divisions that then form cords that give rise](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022041606/5e34842d4b975c0b5d1c2b10/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
+Injury Classification
Millesi classification*
■ Supraganglionic
■ Infraganglionic
■ Trunk
■ Cord
Anatomical Classification
■ C5-6 waiters tip (Erbs palsy)
■ C5-7 as above, elbow slightly flexed
■ C5-T1 flail limb, claw hand, vasomotor changes, +/- Horners syndrome

+Preganglionic Injury
■ Nerve root avulsion ■ dorsal & ventral rootlets
■ invested by pia mater / dural funnel
■ etiology: traction (occasionally missile, knife) ■ Significant traction causes dural rupture / root vulnerability
■ ventral > dorsal root (esp C8-T1) at higher risk
■ POOR Prognosis!

+Grades of Injury■ Grade 1 – Neuropraxia
■ Disruption in nerve function that produces numbness and tingling ■ Most common grade within athletics ■ Symptoms usually resolve within several minutes
■ Grade 2 – Axonotmesis ■ Damage to the nerve’s axon ■ Symptoms = numbness, tingling, and affected function (may last several days) ■ Long nerves have a greater healing time than short nerves ■ Rare within athletics ■ Motor march, Tinel sign
■ Grade 3 – Neurotmesis ■ Permanent nerve damage occurs ■ Very rare within athletics ■ “Occurs with high-energy trauma, fractures, and penetrating injuries”

+Adult Brachial Plexus Injury
How do you Rx the patient knocked off his motorcycle with clavicle # and flail arm?
■ Manage acute injury according to ATLS principles; look for concomitant injury ie c-spine.
■ History ■ Age, hand dominant, occupation, special skills ■ Cause of injury: arm hyperabducted vs neck laterally
flexed ■ Immediate or delayed arm weakness ■ Concomitant injury ■ General health: PMH, DH, Smoker

+Aim of examination
■ Determine extent of injury
(Name by root value)
■ Determine level/ proximity of injury

+Splinting
■ During the observation and potentially nerve regeneration period, splinting becomes an important adjunct
■ Prevent joint contractures
■ Prevent over-stretching of the denervated extensor musculature
■ Maximizing hand function
