Description
The brachial plexus is a group of 5 nerves that come from the spinal cord in the neck and travel down the arm. These nerves control the muscles of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, as well as provide feeling in the arm. Rarely, brachial plexus injuries are minor and completely recover in 4-8 weeks (called neuropraxia). Other injuries are severe enough and could cause some permanent disability in the arm.
