Thirty-nine patients with neuralgic amyotrophy were reviewed. In addition to the clinical findings reported in the neurological literature, we commonly found pain throughout the upper limb, and diffuse involvement of the brachial plexus. Five patients had spinal accessory nerve lesions and five had glenohumeral instability. Sixty-four per cent of the patients had had an orthopaedic consultation during their acute illness. It is therefore important that orthopaedic surgeons are aware of this clinical syndrome and its management. The prognosis is excellent with non-invasive treatment.
