Anatomical study of the brachial plexus in human fetuses and its relation with neonatal upper limb paralysis

ABSTRACT Objective To study the anatomy of the brachial plexus in fetuses and to evaluate differences in morphology during evolution, or to find anatomical situations that can be identified as the cause of obstetric paralysis. Methods Nine fetuses (12 to 30 weeks of gestation) stored in formalin were...

El músculo pectoral mayor como opción para la valoración electromiográfica del plexo braquial
The major pectoral muscle as an option for the electromyographic value of the brachial plexus

Cuad. Hosp. Clín; 60 (2), 2019
El registro electromiográfico es una forma de evaluación de los impulsos eléctricos aferentes y eferentes del sistema muscular al sistema nervioso, su valoración permite explorar lesiones nerviosas o patologías neuromusculares en unidades motoras o nerviosas específicas, en este caso, valoramos el ...

Características morfométricas de las raíces del plexo braquial en el hombre

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
El plexo braquial se forma a partir de cinco raíces espinales: C5, C6, C7, C8 y T1, proporcionando inervación al miembro superior. Se ha demostrado que el análisis morfométrico de las fibras nerviosas es de gran valor para detectar anormalidades, como el tamaño de los haces nerviosos, el número o t...

Anatomical Study of Innervation of the Supinator Muscle to Reinnervate the Posterior Interosseous Nerve

Abstract Objective The purpose of this anatomical study was to analyze the possibility of transferring radial nerve branches to the supinator muscle to reinnervate the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) originating from the C7-T1 roots. Methods Thirty members of 15 cadavers, all male, prepared with a...

Brachial Plexus Injuries with Ulnar Musculocutaneous Transfer: 78 Cases Study Focused on Possible Postoperative Complications

Arq. bras. neurocir; 38 (1), 2019
Objective To analyze 78 cases of brachial plexus injury submitted to the Oberlin technique between 2003 and 2012. The potential complications of this technique were analyzed, especially motor damage or hypoesthesia of the hand. Method Medical records from patients with brachial plexus injuries at the lev...

Prolonged brachial plexopathy following interscalene block for shoulder arthroplasty

Rev. colomb. anestesiol; 47 (1), 2019
Abstract Interscalene block (ISB) is the brachial plexus approach most frequently used in shoulder surgery, providing better postoperative analgesia and reducing the need for rescue morphine compared to general anesthesia. While it is considered a safe block, it has been associated with a relatively high...

El bloqueo interescalénico en la era de la anestesia regional guiada por ecografía

Rev. chil. anest; 48 (4), 2019
INTRODUCTION: The introduction of ultrasound to regional anesthesia has redefined our understanding on this field; moreover, through ultrasound, regional anesthesia techniques have developed rapidly in response to more specific and complex needs. In this context, some changes and new concepts have raised...
