Summary
This completed study used ultrasound to examine the structure of nerves in the neck (the brachial plexus) in 200 adults scheduled for elective surgery. Researchers recorded how many nerve bundles were visible at different nerve roots. The goal was to better understand normal anatomy, which could help guide future procedures.
