主要结局
Number of patients with positive ultrasound findings of brachial plexus injuries ( nerve root avulsion, nerve rupture) .
时间窗: Within 2 weeks
Number of patients with positive ultrasound findings of brachial plexus injuries ( nerve root avulsion, nerve rupture) among all patients with brachial plexus injuries then compare our results with operative findings (as the gold standard ) to estimate sensitivity and specificity.
