Types and severity of operated supraclavicular brachial plexus injuries caused by traffic accidents
Original language description
Brachial plexus injuries occur in up to 5% of polytrauma cases involving motorcycle accidents and in approximately 4% of severe winter sports injuries. One of the criteria for a successful operative therapy is the type of lesion. Upper plexus palsy has the best prognosis, while lower plexus palsy is surgically untreatable. The aim of this study was to evaluate a group of patients with brachial plexus injury caused by traffic accidents, categorize the injuries according to type of accident and look for correlations between type of palsy (injury) and specific accidents. Methods: 441 brachial plexus reconstruction patients were evaluated retrospectively from our department (1993 to 2011). Sex, age, neurological status, and the type and cause of injury were recorded for each case. Patients with BPI caused by a traffic accident were assessed in detail. Conclusion: Study results indicate that the most common injury was an upper plexus palsy. It was characteristic of bicycle accidents and sig
