Evaluation of Brachial Plexus Nerve Variations in Axilla by Ultrasonography

The use of ultrasound in peripheral blocks has now become the gold standard. Ultrasound is a method that is easy to apply and most importantly does not carry any risk, and its only disadvantage is based on the skill and knowledge of the practitioner. Injury to vascular structures, which is the most common occurrence in peripheral block applications, has been significantly reduced by the use of ultrasound. The aim of this study is to determine the location of nerve branches and to determine the most common anthropometric parameters in the axillary fossa.
