Abstract:
Shoulder arthroscopy is widely used through the development of arthroscopic technique and equipment but some complications have been reported that are related to the complexity of technique and the long duration time of operation. Brachial plexus injury, as a complication of arthroscopic Bankart repair, is rare, but remains a serious sequelae. We performed the neurorrhaphy and neurolysis of brachial plexus and showed relatively good functional outcome after 2 years.
