MARTINEZ SUAREZ, REMBERTO; MARRERO RIVERON, LUIS OSCAR; MONREAL GONZALEZ, RICARDO  y  BURGUET LAGO, MARIA ELENA. Value of electrophysiology in the study of traumatic lesions of the brachial plexus. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1996, vol.10, n.1. ISSN 0864-215X.

Results from pre-operative and post-operative electrophysiological studies in 14 adult patients operated on for traumatic lesions of the brachial plexus are reported. Surgical and clinicoelectrophysiological correlation was found to be of 92,86 %, which confirmed confidence of such studies in the diagnosis, preoperative planning and follow-up of traumatic lesions of the brachial plexus. Diagnostic criteria by electro-physiology are stated.
