Injuries associated with serious brachial plexus involvement in polytrauma among patients requiring surgical repair
Original language description
Background: Brachial plexus injury occurs in up to 5% of polytrauma cases involving motorcycle crashes and in approximately 4% of severe winter sports injuries. One of the conditions for the success of operative therapy is early detection, ideally withinthree months of injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate associated injuries in patients with severe brachial plexus injury and determine whether there is a characteristic concomitant injury (or injuries), the presence of which, in the polytrauma,could act as a marker for nerve structures involvement and whether there are differences in severity of polytrauma accompanying specific types of brachial plexus injury. Methods: We evaluated retrospectively 84 surgical patients from our department, from2008 to 2011, that had undergone brachial plexus reconstruction. For all, an injury severity scale (ISS) score and all major associated injuries were determined. Results: 72% of patients had an upper, 26% had a complete and only 2% had a
