Symptoms of brachial plexus injury

summary

Brachial plexus injury is a serious disease. So far, there is no specific treatment for this disease. In 1966, doctors had carried out brain nerve repair for patients with brachial plexus injury, but the treatment results were very disappointing. Now, although the microsurgical technology is relatively developed, the curative effect of repairing brachial plexus injury by microsurgery has been improved to a certain extent, but it is still not particularly satisfactory. Brachial plexus injury was first discovered in 1874. Now let's talk about it.

Symptoms of brachial plexus injury

Brachial plexus injury can be the upper brachial plexus nerve root injury, when this phenomenon occurs, the patient's suprascapular nerve and dorsal scapular nerve will appear paralysis, and the patient's shoulder joint can not do abduction and upward movement, and the patient's elbow joint can not bend.

After the onset of brachial plexus injury, the wrist muscle ability of the patient will be weakened, and there will be obstacles when the forearm rotates. The upper limb of the patient will have sensory impairment, and even the sensory function of the upper limb will disappear. Injury to the upper brachial plexus may result in partial or complete paralysis.

Longitudinal arm nerve injury can be the injury of lower brachial plexus nerve root. If this phenomenon occurs, the hand function of the patient will be seriously impaired, or even the hand function will be completely lost, and the medial muscle of the patient's hand will be completely atrophied, especially the interosseous muscle atrophy of the hand is the most obvious.

matters needing attention

Longitudinal arm nerve injury can also be the whole brachial plexus injury, this phenomenon is more serious, after the onset of the patient's body joints can not move normally, and the patient's upper limbs will appear sluggish paralysis.
