TL;DR
Better results were obtained for the external rotation with the arm in abduction compared to adduction, and for patients having only undergone the neurotization procedure compared to patients having had complete plexus reconstruction.
Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is the most common peripheral nerve injury associated with childbirth, with an incidence of 0.4–1.6 per 1000 live births. It typically results from traction on the brachial plexus during difficult deliveries and is associated with risk factors such as shoulder dystocia, fetal macr...
Background: Addition of a trapezius to deltoid transfer has been recommended by various authors in overcomingthe deficit in shoulder abduction while correcting the deficit in external rotation of the shoulder in patients withbirth brachial plexus palsy (BBPP). Literature analyzing the effect of trapezius transfer in pa...
A 5-year-old girl presented with an inability to abduct her left shoulder and flex her left elbow following a fall 1.5 months earlier. Electrodiagnostic studies were suggestive of a partial upper trunk brachial plexus injury. The child was advised to attend monthly follow-up visits with regular physiotherapy and nerve...
PURPOSE Brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBI) can be life-changing for both the patient and family. While most resolve spontaneously, surgical intervention is indicated for those who fail to improve. This can be performed via nerve grafting or nerve transfer. The spinal accessory nerve is a commonly used extraplexal do...
ABSTRACT Radial nerve injury following intramuscular injection into the upper arm is rare but clinically significant. Although injection-site selection is important, the effect of shoulder position, particularly internal rotation, on radial nerve location remains unclear. Because the radial nerve courses within the tri...
INTRODUCTION There is a consensus in the literature regarding the excellent outcomes achieved with the Oberlin procedure for the treatment of upper brachial plexus injuries (C5-C6 and/or C7) in restoring elbow flexion. However, some limitations exist when this procedure is performed long after the initial trauma. An al...
