Demographics and Etiologies of Patients Evaluated in a Multidisciplinary Brachial Plexus Clinic: A Ten-Year Experience
Our experience suggests that trauma is the most common cause of BPI. Patients often present delayed, affecting type of surgical intervention rendered. A considerable number did not have a brachial plexus lesion, and the surgeon must be cognizant of alternative diagnoses. Future studies should further evaluate how demographics and socioeconomic deprivation may affect care and outcomes of BPI.
