Brachial Plexus Exploration Arthroscopic

Brachial Plexus Exploration Arthroscopic


Arthroscopic Brachial Plexus Exploration is undertaken when there is an indication that pressure may be unduly compromising a nerve around the shoulder.  This patient had pain in his shoulder following a shoulder procedure.  Arthroscopic exploration allowed Dr Cutbush to identify a fascial band that was compressing the axillary nerve when the arm was raised.  Dr Cutbush was able to divide the fascial band and in so doing relieve the patient’s symptoms.
