    Waters et al. ( 8 ) demonstrated that glenoid abnormalities showed little improvement with muscle-tendon stretching, even when performed in association with muscle transfers, if the presence of bony deformities was neglected. [scielo.br]

Relevant Anatomy and Pathophysiology Brachial plexus is formed of nerves roots from C5-T1 vertebra. As these roots come out, C5 and C6 join to form the upper trunk, C7 travels alone as the middle trunk, and C8-T1 join as the lower trunk. [boneandspine.com]

The pathophysiology appears to be thrombophlebitis of the vasa vasorum or an arterial embolism causing ischemic nerve damage ( 9 ). NEUROPATHOLOGY The injury is usually where nerve roots form the trunks of the brachial plexus. [academic.oup.com]

Pathophysiology To understand the clinical presentation of brachial plexus palsy (BPP) and provide anticipatory guidance for families affected by the condition, the clinician must first know basic anatomy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
