OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of sonography in identifying nerve abnormalities in patients with traction injury of the brachial plexus. CONCLUSION: Sonography of the brachial plexus was technically feasible, although the entire brachial plexus could not be evaluated. Sonography appears to be a useful bedside imaging technique for assessing brachial plexus injury. The potential of sonography as a complementary diagnostic tool in the evaluation of these patients warrants further investigation.
