Epidemiological Characteristics and Treatment Analysis of Traumatic Brachial Plexus Nerve Injuries at the Provincial Level Gu Yudong Academician Workstation in Jiangxi Province
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and treatment strategies for traumatic brachial plexus nerve injuries at the provincial level Gu Yudong Academician Workstation in Jiangxi Province.Methods All newly diagnosed cases of traumatic brachial plexus nerve injuries treated from January 2018 to December 2021 at the provincial level Gu Yudong Academician Workstation in Jiangxi Province were collected.A standardized data collection form was established to gather information on patient gender,age,causes of injury,diagnosis,and surgical approaches.The data were analyzed to identify the epidemiological characteristics of brachial plexus nerve injuries at the workstation over the four-year period.Results A total of 58 eligible patients were included,with 47 males and 11 females,and a median age of 43 years(8 to 78 years).Cutting injuries(29.31％)and traffic accidents(25.86％)were the main causes of injury.The injured branches were predominantly the cord branches(62.07％),followed by postganglionic injuries at the trunk(22.41％)and root avulsion injuries(12.07％).Treatment strategies included non-surgical approaches(10.34％),with the majority undergoing surgical intervention.Among surgical treatments,simple brachial plexus neurolysis was the most common(67.24％),followed by nerve transfer surgery(18.97％).Subsequently,repairing shoulder abduction function using the accessory nerve was the most common in nerve transfer procedures.Conclusion Traumatic brachial plexus nerve injuries at the Gu Yudong Academician Workstation in Jiangxi Province are more common in middle-aged males.Traffic accidents and cutting injuries are the primary causes of injury,and the majority of patients require surgical intervention.
