Journal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury (JBPPNI) is an Open Access, online journal encompassing all aspects of basic and clinical research findings in the area of brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injury. Articles on diagnostic and imaging aspects of the peripheral nervous system are welcomed as well.

The peripheral nervous system is unique in its complexity and scope of influence. There are areas of interest in the anatomy, physiology, metabolism, phylogeny, and limb growth tropism of peripheral nerves.

The brachial plexus is an important peripheral nerve functional unit and is extensively studied as a model for nerve injury management. Current areas of interest in the brachial plexus include clinical as well as basic scientific elements that will enhance recovery from injury.

The purpose of the journal is to foster interdisciplinary discussion of disease entities to stimulate new thinking and generate novel techniques of peripheral nerve injury management. All articles in JBPPNI undergo rigorous blind peer review.
