We present a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study in 51 patients where the brachial plexus was evaluated. Using a 1.5 T clinical imaging system, we obtained Tl-weighted sequences, and double-echo (intermediateand TZ-weighted) spin-echo images. The coronal plane was imaged in all examinations and w
Classical supraclavicular brachial plexus block was used as the sole anaesthetic technique in 200 children aged between 5 and 12βyears undergoing closed reduction of arm fractures. The local anaesthetic used was lidocaine 1.5% with epinephrine. The block was graded as satisfactory if surgical manipu
