Complete brachial plexus nerve injury is potentially recoverable if treated promptly. However, if it is not treated in a timely manner, it may leave varying degrees of sequelae.
A complete brachial plexus injury is generally defined as a complete severance of the brachial plexus nerve or a high degree of decline in nerve function. If nerve repair surgery is performed in time at the early stage of complete brachial plexus nerve injury and neuroprotective drugs are taken, the brachial plexus nerve may gradually return to normal, and there may be slight misuse or muscle soreness, etc., but it does not affect the normal nerve function.
If the brachial plexus nerve is not treated in time after a complete injury, resulting in a complete severance of the nerve or irreversible necrosis, the brachial plexus nerve cannot be restored, which will lead to persistent loss of muscle function or loss of sensation in the affected arm in the future.
After the brachial plexus nerve is completely damaged, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for emergency treatment and surgical repair.
