Brachial plexus or Plexus Brachialis is formed by the conjunction of somatic nerves involving the anterior or ventral roots (rami) of the four end cervical regions and the first thoracic portion vertebrae (C5, C6, C7, C, 8, and T1). The network of nerves travels from the spinal cord to the initial ribs and covers both the armpits via the cervicoaxillary canal (neck). Any injury to the conjunction may cause tremendous pain in the shoulder region, neck, and arms.
Brachial plexus injuries are mostly caused due to any traumatic or accidental damage resulting from sudden and excessive jerk to the shoulder which eventually strains the nerves. In severe cases, the nerves may also get torn apart which requires thorough medical attention and surgical treatments.
Besides being prescribed within killers, the treatments for minor injuries may range from physiotherapy to regular exercise. To reduce the pain and prevent the condition from worsening, one must refrain from heavy physical activities and outdoor sports. Besides, the surgical treatments required for the same are:
The three procedures involve transferring of nerve or a patch of thin muscle from a different, healthy portion to the damaged brachial nerves in order to re-establish the connection in the position.
Stereotactic procedures involve 3D coordinating procedures, in order to track down the area of damage and perform necessary functions. With a minimum invasion, the procedure allows performing biopsy, radiosurgery, ablation, etc. Ideal candidates for the same are candidates who:
Brachial plexus injuries/stereotactic procedures cost may vary as per the requirement and usually begins from $7500. However, the deciding factors which may result in variation are:
