Complications in Surgery for Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: Avoidance and Treatment

John A I Grossman et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

Brachial plexus birth injuries are rare, with treatment and follow-up often required from infancy until skeletal maturity. We review complications that may occur related to primary nerve surgery or secondary musculoskeletal procedures, and discuss how these may be avoided.

Keywords: Brachial plexus birth injury; complications of surgery; obstetric brachial plexus injury.
