The Formation of Lateral Cord of Brachial Plexus and Its Branches – A Cadaveric Study

Abstract

Introduction: The lateral cord of brachial plexus is formed from the anterior divisions of upper and middle trunks, formed from roots C5, C6 and C7. Variations in the formation and branching of lateral cord are not uncommon. Considering its variations, a detailed knowledge is necessary to neurosurgeons, anaesthetists and orthopedicians to avoid complications.

Morphometric Study of Upper End of Tibia in Gujarat Region and Its Clinical Implication in Knee Arthroplasty

“…In the present study, in 2 [3.12%] limbs of the same cadaver mcn is absent. Similar findings were reported earlier by Sheetal V (6.67%, n=60) [8], Jamuna M (6%, n=50), Priti Cowdhary (10%, n=60) [11] and others [14,18,19]. In the absence…”

“…Gopal et al [7] observed communications in 7.55% [n=40], Sheetal V et al [8] observed in 11.67% [n=60]. Many such communications were reported earlier [9][10][11][12][13][14]. A communication between musculo-cutaneous nerve and median nerve may be present [7,15,16].…”
