Morphometric Analysis of the Brachial Plexus: Insights for Nerve Block Procedures
Author(s): Paul Richard*
Morphometric analysis of the brachial plexus offers critical insights for improving the precision and efficacy of nerve block procedures, which are pivotal in regional anesthesia and pain management. This review synthesizes current research on the anatomical variations and dimensions of the brachial plexus, emphasizing their implications for clinical practice. By exploring studies that employ imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and cadaveric dissection, we highlight key morphometric parameters—such as the thickness, width, and branching patterns of the plexus nerves—that influence the success and safety of nerve blocks. Understanding these anatomical details is essential for minimizing complications, optimizing anesthetic spread, and tailoring interventions to individual patient anatomy. The review also discusses advancements in imaging technology and future direct.. Read More»
