Injury to major neurovascular structures of the upper arm is a complication to be kept in mind, especially during difficult levonorgestrel implant removal. The risk of such an injury may be higher if the implants are inserted deeply over the brachial groove, where four major structures, namely, the basilic vein, the ulnar and median nerves, and the brachial artery, are located.
上臂主要神经血管结构损伤是一种需要牢记的并发症，尤其是在困难的左炔诺孕酮植入剂取出过程中。如果植入剂在肱沟上方深部插入，这种损伤的风险可能更高，肱沟处有四个主要结构，即贵要静脉、尺神经和正中神经以及肱动脉。
