D'Ambrosia classification

D'Ambrosia classification is a system used by doctors to categorize the severity of a certain type of nerve injury called brachial plexus injury, which affects nerves controlling the shoulder and arm. It looks at how much nerve function is lost and helps determine the best treatment approach. The classification ranges from less severe injuries, where some nerve signals remain, to more severe cases where nerve connections are completely disrupted. This system guides clinicians in prognosis and deciding whether surgery or other therapies might be necessary for recovery.
