摘要
Serious brachial plexus injury after median sternotomy is uncommon. However, affected patients experience considerable morbidity and their return to regular employment is often delayed. The pathogenesis of the injury is multifactorial. Wide sternal retraction is the major etiologic factor. Management is primarily conservative and should be guided by a team experienced in upper limb and hand surgery. Our experience at a major referral center during a 3-year period is described.
