[Rupture of axillary artery and brachial plexus paralysis as complications of recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocation: a case report].
The authors report a case of transection of the axillary artery and brachial plexus paralysis following recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocation. Subsequent vascular reconstruction was performed using a venous interposition graft. The brachial plexus was explored at the same time and found to be in continuity. Neurological recovery was complete within a few months.
