Prognosis of Brachial Plexus Injury: Good for neuropraxia (90-100% recovery); avulsion and rupture require prompt surgery for recovery. Prognosis of Brachial Plexus Injury: The site and type of brachial plexus injury determine the prognosis. For avulsion and rupture injuries there is no potential for recovery unless surgical reconnection is made in a timely manner. For neuroma and neuropraxia injuries the potential for recovery varies. Most patients with neuropraxia injuries recover spontaneously with a 90-100% return of function.
