Brachial plexus injuries.
Brachial plexus injuries are not uncommon in sports. Knowledge of anatomy and neurophysiology is important to permit accurate diagnosis and institution of compressive treatment. Traumatic injuries can be caused by traction and compression. Unusual conditions such as acute brachial neuritis may also occur. Safe return to sports is permitted when strength party is achieved and rehabilitation is completed following neural recovery.
