Treatment of traumatic lesions of the brachial plexus
Liečba a diagnostika traumatických lézií brachiálneho plexu
Úprava funkcií hornej končatiny tvorí hlavnú prioritu rekonštrukcie nervov pri trakčných poraneniach brachiálneho plexu. Výsledky operácií sú ovplyvnené úrovňou poranenia, typom chirurgického zákroku, vekom pacienta a dobou operácie od úrazu. V práci sa venujeme diagnostike, indikáciám k operáciám a chirurgickému liečeniu.
Kľúčové slová:
