Adult Brachial Plexus Clinic

The Adult Brachial Plexus Clinic at Vanderbilt treats injuries to this complex nerve system with multidisciplinary care.

If you have a brachial plexus injury, you need treatment as a whole patient. In recent years, we have improved our understanding of the brachial plexus’s function and anatomy, including its psychological impact when injured. This means better patient outcomes for you.

Our clinic combines Plastic Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Hand Therapy and Physiatry to give the specialized care that you require. We offer the full complement of diagnostic tests available to provide you with a comprehensive experience.

Our surgical team is actively involved in research. We regularly collaborate with other national centers to offer you the latest and most innovative options.
