A brachial plexus injury is an injury to the network of nerves that send signals from one's spine to their shoulder, arm, and hand. In serious injuries, the nerves are torn. Common injuries include those sustained during contact sports, auto or motorcycle accidents, or falls. Babies can sustain brachial plexus injuries during birth.
