No references found | Twelve percent of patients (7 of 58 patients) sustained neurological injuries, including four patients with neuropraxia (three sensory and one motor), one with incomplete paraplegia attributable to thoracic fracture, one with tibial nerve laceration, and one with traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome. There are four types of brachial plexus injuries: avulsion, the most severe type, in which the nerve is torn from the spine; rupture, in which the nerve is torn but not at the spinal attachment; neuroma, in which the nerve has tried to heal itself but scar tissue has grown around the injury, putting pressure on the injured nerve and preventing the nerve from conducting signals to the muscles; and neuropraxia or stretch, in which the nerve has been damaged but not torn. 0 (3-24) Major complications, n Dislocation (hip) 3 2 Deep surgical site infection 1 1 Venous thromboembolism 1 4 Neuropraxia 1 0 Obese Non-obese n = 50 n = 49 Demographic Age (years), mean (SD) 67. |
