“…The dorsal branches that arise from spinal nerves innervate paraspinal muscles and skin [2,5] . Following trauma different nerves of the brachial plexus can be affected in different degrees, and the combination of these multiple injuries causes varying degree of deficits effecting forelimb muscles [3] . The prognosis for most brachial plexus injuries is poor for functional return of the limb [6] .…”
