title: [Topographic studies on the pathogenesis of postoperative pareses in the area supplied by the brachial plexus].
abstract: Post-operative palsies of the Plexus brachialis innervation area induced post mortem studies on the behaviour of the nerves in 11 positions of the stretched arm. The tension of the Plexus brachialis and of the Nervus ulnaris was measured. It was highest at an abduction of 90 and 120 degrees with additional retroversion. When the abduction is 90 and 120 degrees an anteversion of 15 degrees leads to an ambiguous diminution of the tension.
