Brachial Plexus Awareness Week
Brachial Plexus Awareness Week starts on Oct. 18 and runs through the 24th. The goal of the weeklong event is to raise awareness for brachial plexus injuries.
Brachial plexus injuries sometimes referred to as erb’s palsy are caused by damage to a set of nerves called the brachial plexus. Damage to these nerves often result in total or partial paralysis of the hand and/or arm.
Often these injuries occur at birth. When these injuries occur at birth it is often the result of medical malpractice.
Please see my previous post or our website to learn how these injuries occur and how the doctor could have avoided the injury.
