Results of nerve reconstructions in treatment of obstetrical brachial plexus injuries
Original language description
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results achieved using various surgical techniques in patients with partial and total obstetrical brachial plexus palsy. METHODS: From 2000 to 2013, 33 patients with obstetrical brachial plexus injuryunderwent surgery. Twenty had follow-up periods greater than 24 months and met the criteria for inclusion in the study. All patients were evaluated using the Active Movement Scale. RESULTS: The outcomes of different nerve reconstructive procedures including nerve transfers, nerve grafting after neuroma resection and end-to-side neurorrhaphy are presented. The overall success rate in upper plexus birth injury was 80 % in shoulder abduction, 50 % in external rotation and 81.8 % in elbow flexion with median follow-ups of 36 months. Success rate in complete paralysis was 87 % in finger and thumb flexion, 87 % in shoulder abduction and 75 % in elbow flexion; the median follow-up was 46 months. Useful reanimation of the hand was obtained in
