Delayed repair yields poor recovery; leaves open whether early detection prevents irreversible palsy.
Case Report (n=6)
Penetrating shoulder girdle injuries require aggressive investigation, including arteriography, to detect and repair vascular injuries before they cause irreversible brachial plexus palsy.
Seshadri Raju (1981) conducted a case report in Penetrating trauma to the subclavian or axillary arteries (n=6). Vascular repair was evaluated on Neurological recovery. Following vascular repair for delayed brachial plexus palsy caused by an expanding false aneurysm, neurological recovery occurred in only 2 of 6 cases (33.3%).
