title: [Late results of injuries to the brachial plexus and its roots].
abstract: In 33 out 93 patients with injuries to the plexus brachialis and its radices, respectively, late results could be determined by reexaminations. These showed that after complete failure of a brachial nerve plexus no essential regeneration had occurred in 7 out of 11 patients. Of 7 patients with injuries to radices C5 - C7, 1 showed sufficient restitution. After lesion of C5/C6 and C4/C5, respectively, 2 out of 9 patients showed major residual symptoms. Lesions of fascicles or lower plexal portions resulted in distinct defects in 4 out of 6 cases.
