Abstract
The anterior supraclavicular approach to the brachial plexus is commonly indicated in patients with traumatic injuries, tumors, or entrapment of the brachial plexus elements. We describe the anatomy and operative technique of this approach, which has been used by the senior author (DGK) for the past 30 years.
