Abstract

A variety of surgical procedures exist for early repair of the nerve injury in obstetrical brachial plexus palsy, including neuroma excision and nerve grafting, neurolysis and neurotization. Secondary deformities of the shoulder, forearm, and hand can similarly be reconstructed using soft tissue and skeletal procedures. This review describes our surgical approach to maximize the ultimate functional outcome in infants and children with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.
