SURGICAL THERAPY AND ITS RESULTS IN TRAUMATIC LESIONS OF PLEXUS BRACHIALIS

Lesion of the Plexus Brakialis has increased due to traffic accidents. In our hospital we operated three cases which had Plexus Brachialis injuries. Neurotization has been performed in one of two found positive tinel test and sensitivity at the upper arm. At second case which has been applied nerve greft, no change has been found during 10 months follow up by clinical and electromiographical evaluation. At third case which has been injured by gun, as a result of 10 months follow-up we determined sensitivity at the upper arm and flexion at the elbow about 2/5 of the normal arm in comparison. In this text surgical indication, surgical technique and results have been discussed under the appraise of literatures.
