Sonography of brachial plexus traction injuries.

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.
